Cross in Nobber

Cross

What is recorded here

No. 6 in Nobber is a small crudely shaped Latin cross, 44cms high and 30cms wide, set toward the south-western end of the graveyard among uncut stones. Its shaft rises pointed and uneven, its arms carved without decoration, and its surface has worn until every edge has softened. It does not announce itself or demand admiration. It stands where death was once made visible, small enough to overlook and old enough to remind anyone stopping beside it that visibility itself is not the same as understanding.
