A pudding Stone is a geological formation when new rock of form around existing stones and rock. It looks like concrete but is a natural formation. They were once believed to ward off witchcraft and we therefore used in the construction of buildings.
This is a pretty big pudding stone and visible near the road.

Pretty much Mt Everest in the eyes of many toddlers growing up, including myself.
Happily, I've made the summit on a number of occasions. Once you make the perilous climb, you can enjoy spectacular views of the lake of Verulamium glittering in the distance.
