Cross in Nobber

Cross

What is recorded here

Nobber’s thin cross slab stands south-west of the Early Medieval shaft, its pecked grid and oval still marking an equal-armed shape. The stone is small enough to touch, yet it belongs to a time when people laid down warnings, prayers or boundaries without writing them for strangers. It may have guided a burial, bounded a field or answered a fear now forgotten. In that uncertainty it becomes sharper, not lesser: a human hand made a shape worthy of remembering.
From King (2007, 54-5, No. 4) A thin roughly shaped Latin cross slab 62cms in height, 34cms wide and 5cms in depth is located immediately to the south-west of the Early Medieval shaft. It is decorated on one face only with a very clearly pecked vertical two-celled rectangular grid and a horizontal oval extending across the grid and into the arms. The impression is of an equal armed cross. Date of upload; 10 July, 2014
