Stone Cross

Since 1806 a high cross has stood inside the entrance to the graveyard on a square plinth with roll moulding. It originally stood N of the village at Watery Lane (Anon 1833, 84-5). It is a ringed granite cross (H 2.16m, Wth 1.55m, T 0.27m. ). The E face has two raised ribs forming the outer ring, with an outline of a cross in relief and a roundel in the centre (Harbison 1992, 90). Traces of decoration on the arms continue onto the shaft, the S side contains animal-like features under the arm and onto the shaft. The N side has extenuated S spirals and under the arm a diamond shape, the W face bears a cross and a ring in high relief . Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
