Description

The medieval cross remains in North Wood, believed to date from the 13th century, are a significant historical artifact. It is reputed to be the Shotton Market Cross, which was relocated to Blagdon in the early 19th century. The cross is made of cut sandstone and features a low 19th-century plinth with a square base adorned with leaf ornamentation at the corners. The shaft is octagonal with roll-moulded angles, although the upper part is broken and secured with iron clamps. The upper section of the shaft and the head are missing, and the overall height of the cross is 2.60 meters. This cross is noted for its unusual elaboration, making it an important monument even in its current location.
