Above photo highlighting Benchmark.
From 1831 to 1993 Benchmarks or Cut Datum Line, were used to
calculate heights above mean sea level. The term comes from the
horizontal marks that surveyors would chisel into stone structures to
support a levelling rod.
The top horizontal strike is the precise height measured. The three
'rifles' below would have received the legs of the bench originally for
levelling. Based on a military broad arrow symbol representing three
rifles stood up in a tripod.
This would allow surveyors to accurately reposition the rod in the
same place in the future. Benchmarks are usually found on buildings or
other semi-permanent features.
There are 50 registered Benchmarks in the district of Tenterden Those
shown are:
Royal Mail sorting office Ashford Road, Tenterden
Tenterden Town Hall
The Vine Inn, High Street, Tenterden
St Mary the Virgin Church, Ebony |

Shepherd Neame spend £250k on The Vine, Tenterden.
The last pint has been pulled at a town-centre pub this week - ahead
of a £250,000 transformation.
The Vine in Tenterden is being completely redesigned by owners Shepherd
Neame and is set to feature an open kitchen, with a new bar and dining
area, at the heart of the upgrade.
Fresh decor, plus new furniture and lighting will complete the internal
transformation, while the high street pub's Victorian facade will be
repainted, with both signage and lighting updated.
The Vine is undergoing a £250k refurbishment.
Outside areas will be improved in the spruce-up and the rear garden is
being re-paved and will have new furniture installed in readiness for
summer trade.
The Vine closed on Tuesday and refurbishment work is expected to take
several weeks, with the pub due to re-open at the end of May.
Shepherd Neame director of retail and tenanted operations Nigel Bunting
said: “We are delighted to announce this significant investment in The
Vine.
"It is a fantastic pub in a great location and we hope that this
refurbishment project will enable it to continue to go from strength to
strength.”
