The inscription, carved in sarsen stone, by Joss Nankoo, proprietor of Stone Art Memorials, Kings Road, reads: “Commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II 2012.”
Brian Morris, a Chilton Parish Council councillor said: "We wanted to use a sarsen stone to commemorate the jubilee, as this type of sandstone is typical of the chalk downland in which Chilton is situated. However, none of the sarsen stones in the village were large enough.”
A suitable sarsen stone - an extremely hard stone - was located on a farm near Lambourn.
