What is recorded here
Half a cross stands cemented atop the graveyard wall in Glebe, its octagonal shaft and small protruding tenon marking a threshold where the dead still enter. The stone dates to the 16th or early 17th century, old enough to have watched fields change hands and names disappear. It is not a complete monument but a stub, a reminder that something taller once pointed upward before people broke it or buried it under wall and mortar.
Beside the stile at the entrance to a graveyard (LF023-032002-). The lower part of a possible shaft of a cross has been cemented onto the top of the graveyard wall. The shaft (H 0.48m; Wth 0.37m; T 0.27m) is octagonal in plan with chamfered sides terminating at four bull-nose chamfer stops. A small tenon protrudes from the top of it. It probably dates to the 16th or early 17th century.
