CLEOBURY MORTIMER

SO6775 HIGH STREET 582-1/13/68 (North side) 12/11/54 Mounting block in front of Talbot Hotel

GV II

Stone mounting block, now base for inn sign. Probably late C17 or early C18. Flat slab set on plinth with flight of 3 stone steps each side. Now surmounted by sign post for the Talbot Hotel. HISTORICAL NOTE: there is a tradition that the body of Prince Arthur, eldest son of Henry VII and first husband of Katherine of Aragon was laid on this block when it was taken from Ludlow to Worcester Cathedral in 1502, but it is doubtful whether the block is of this age.
