[ST 01073635] Cross (NR) (Remains of) (NAT). [1] Remains of a late 13th Century churchyard cross. The socket only is in a fair state of preservation. The upper bed is an octagon converted into a square by high convex broaches. The steps are square at present, but as displaced that the original plan cannot be traced. The carved stone on the top is supposed to have belonged to the cross head. [2] This cross has been restored. The socket stone stands on three rebuilt octagonal steps. The shaft and lantern head are modern. But the latter is capped by the original canopy, which is presumably the 'curved stone' noted by Pooley [6].
