There is a certain lane which leads into, and formerly was part of Horningsham Common, called White Marshes.

At Stanters Corpse Lane there being a certain corpse called Whitemarsh Corpse in Wiltshire  - (now in lease to the Lord Weymouth granted by the late Lord of Horningsham Manor) adjoining to the said lane on the east – and his, the said Lord Weymouth’s freehold lands also adjoining thereto, on the west side thereof lying in the county of Somerset.

There was a bound stone formerly standing in the said lane on the edge of the ditch belonging to the Lord Weymouth’s said freehold, there placed purposefully to manifest that his lordship’s said land extended no further.

Which stone about 20 years since (by reason of the water running down the said ditch and washing away the ground whereupon it stood), fell down into the said ditch.

And there are diverse persons (yet living) who helped to lift the said stone there out and having so done laid it some yards whereupon the same now remains though not in its right place.

His Lordship’s said ditch is in Somerset and the said Lane is in Wiltshire, which Ditch parts both Counties so. By which it appears the said Wood can’t belong to his Lordship and besides all the Neighbours agree, that the said Lane belongs to and is part of the said manor.

There are other bound stones now standing on the edge of the said ditch - a considerable distance from the above mentioned stone - which confirmed the same exactly before it fell down into the said ditch.
