An eighteenth-century milestone moved in 1922 and adapted to mark First World War casualties of British and Commonwealth Forces in the Ypres Salient. The eighth milestone on this section of road (that is, a marker recording eight miles from London Bridge) was erected at the roadside opposite the school and Christ Church, Shooter's Hill. While the Trust closed in 1813, its milestones remained and in 1922 this marker was moved a short distance into the churchyard. Associated with the erection of the community’s First World War memorial in that year, a new plaque was added to the milestone to record the distance from Shooter's Hill to the Cloth Hall, Ypres.
