Parish Boundary Marker
In the Outer Close facing Winchester Cathedral. Here's what I learned about it from Sue Coles, Chair of the Winchester Area Tourist Guides Association:
The marker probably indicates civil parish boundaries rather than parish (religious) boundaries. The Mary Kalendar parish was absorbed into the St. Maurice parish in 1682 but the two continued as separate civil parishes after 1682. The civic wards are first shown on Godson's map of Winchester of 1750 and subsequent maps up to and including the 1st Edition OS map of 1863 - 70. In the 1750 map, the boundary is marked as being where the current house now is. Therefore it can be assumed that the MK refers to the St. Mary Kalendar ward and SM to the St. Maurice ward. The current house straddles the boundaries. It was built in the late 18th century and the date of 1772 would fit the date of the building but there is no concrete evidence of this. As the City's population grew in the 18th and 19th century, the boundaries of the civil parishes went through a number of changes and by law the changes had to be marked on the ground. The dates may, therefore, refer to the various reorganisations of the civil wards.
