The south return incorporates a public telephone box in the angle added in the mid-C20 which has a doorway with a moulded stone ashlar architrave and a half- glazed door. The wall forms a prominent feature at the centre of the village and is situated opposite the churchyard of the Church of St Faith (qv).
