English: The Blind House, Maddington Street, Shrewton, Wiltshire, built about 1700.

The last sentence on the plaque reads, "Property of Shrewton Parish Council. Protected by law as an ancient monument. Silver Jubilee Year 1977". Just to the right of the Blind House is a late 18th-century milestone, inscribed "LXXXIV / Miles from / LONDON VI from Amesbury". |
