Villagers in Tissington have been left exasperated after a Grade-II listed stone pillar, which forms the gateway to the Derbyshire village, was knocked down for the 12th time in a decade.
The pillar, which was last repaired in March at a cost of £15,000, was destroyed on Sunday by “an errant farmer bringing in his hay”, said Sir Richard FitzHerbert, whose family owns Tissington Hall and the surrounding estate.
