Granary -Arlington Court NT Devon -030523 (1)

            Instantly recognisable and often erroneously called mushroom stones , Staddle stones (variations include steddle stones)  have been used for centuries as the raised footings for granaries and tithe barns in order to prevent both damp and pesky rats and mice raiding the stores. 

Generally found in the southern counties, Staddles can be found in a number of mediums, most commonly sandstone and granite, they will vary region by region and will these days be seen gracing rural driveways and gardens.

I have seen this type of granary in my area in Dorset (another southern county).
