Erection date: 1751
Inscription
{Anti-clockwise starting from the south face:}

{benchmark}
VI miles 3 {or 'to'} quarters from Hyde Park Corner
X miles From the Standard in Cornhill, 1751
VIII miles 3 quarters from West-minster Bridge
The inscription seems to have been re-carved, incorrectly, at some point, introducing some ambiguity. The measurements are corroborated by Google Maps, except that Westminster Bridge is actually about a mile closer. If you are into milestones this is the site for you: Metadyne.
