Dist:0.4km<br/>Yet another excellent chance to get some good beer & grub after church! It is now thought the bone that was dug up in the 19th century that gave the pub its name was in fact a woolly mammoth bone. The bone on the pub sign is relatively modern.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The circular concrete tube contains the spring on Fingringhoe Green. This was the only source of water for some of the houses in the area right up until the 1970’s when heath inspectors deemed the water was possibly not fit to drink. . I think the warning signs are more to provide defence in litigation than a real health warning. However it is more than thirty years since I have drunk from it!

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is the famous Fingringhoe Oak tree number 11978 on the Woodland Trusts Ancient Tree Hunt http://www.ancienttreehunt.org.uk/ this magnificent specimen is said to be over 600 years old. I was told as a child that an acorn was placed in the mouth of a “pirate” when he was buried. If true this grave marker has certainly stood the test of time. The trunk has a girth of over seven metres.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This church has a Norman nave and the rest of the church is 14th century. The Normans used many Roman bricks in their building. It is a very attractive church and stands in a very nice setting.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This ewe appeared to be nurturing four lambs but in fact they could not all have been hers. The shot was taken from a section of footpath between [[37887]] and Fingringhoe Post Office in TM0219, conveniently provided to allow pedestrians to avoid the narrow road section.
