The Croston Carvers honored Jeremiah Horrocks in 2004 with a new sandstone monument that sits on a site between the village of Bretherton and Carr House, where Jeremiah Horrocks likely made his historic observation.

Mark Farrar, one of the Croston Carvers, wrote in 2004, "I’ve been intrigued by the story for a number of years.  Horrocks' story is an inspirational one.  He was very young and working with home made instruments.  Rushing back from his work as a curate he had short time on a November Sunday to make his observations.  Hopefully this transit will help more people learn about his remarkable story."

Croston Carvers have taught themselves the ancient skills of stone carving and completed a number of commissions.  The group formed to create a millennium milestone which now sits on Croston Village Green.

Kath Almond, local Parish Councillor and member of group, notes, "We are local people who find a lot of satisfaction in creating something permanent.  It started with the millennium stone and we had so many ideas that we just carried on. Doing a stone for Horrocks has been an idea we’ve had since the start."
