Scotland Road / Scotland Hill

The east-west road from Stanton to Upper Seagry is known variously as Scotland Road / Scotland Hill / Henn Lane; the section from here towards Stanton is generally shown on maps as Scotland Hill, while the section from here into Upper Seagry is shown as Henn Lane.

This area was originally in the parish of Sutton Benger, as can be seen from the early map of Upper Seagry. We are standing roughly on the 'S' of Sutton Benger on the left of the map. (Note that this map originally had east at the top.) The map clearly shows the boundary between the two parishes following the line of the brook, down to the right to Seagry Hill, and on to the Avon.

The signs on the roadside confirm that today's name for Harding's Farm is 'Hardinge'.

The basic route now turns right into Seagry, to Goss Croft Hall via the old Methodist Chapel. If you are taking the optional route through Seagry Woods, turn left.
