The Burton Stone Public House stands at the junction of Burton Stone Lane and Clifton. It takes the name from the stone that stands at the corner of the pub. The stone was used during the time of the Black Death plague and has hollows chipped out of the stone. The holes were filled with vinegar into which city dwellers would drop money and food would be left by farmers in the area by the stone. Burton was the name of a family living nearby. This stone is the only one left of four that existed around the city at the time of the plague. The stone is displayed just outside the corner of the pub where the group of women can be seen walking by.
