This rock is a glacial erratic. It travelled all the way from Derbyshire in a glacier, at the end of the Ice Age. Oliver Cromwell used it as a podium during an attack on the local church during the English Civil War. Locals say it's the petrified foot of the devil that someone cut it off with a sword. They call it the Solbury Boot. It sits right in the middle of the road.
