Luther writes:
This is a 19.2g Winchcombe CM2 meteorite, found on the 25th March 2021 by Chris Casey and Luther Jackson.

A small dark dusty mark on a driveway in Bishop’s Cleeve, a town several miles to the West of Winchcombe, led us to this beauty nestling gently in a small strip of grass, a few inches either way and it would have hit tarmac / concrete.

We think this is where it landed, and a car while parking on the verge had driven over it, breaking it into three pieces and transporting a small bit to the drive where it was crushed into the mark we initially noticed.
