About
Standing about 7.6 metres tall in the churchyard of All Saints Church, this is the tallest standing stone in Britain and dates back to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. A smaller stone of the same type also sits in the churchyard. It makes an easy and memorable stop on a drive across the Wolds.
