The Great Amwell Pudding Stone

1800 · Emma's Well, Great Amwell, Hertfordshire

Description

Situated at the historic Emma's Well, which forms part of the source for the New River (an artificial waterway opened in 1613 to supply London with fresh drinking water). This large puddingstone boulder forms a prominent part of the 19th-century memorial landscaping honoring Sir Hugh Myddelton, the driving force behind the river's construction.
