Churchyard Cross About 10 Metres South Of The Tower Of The Church Of St Cuthbert

DONINGTON C.P. RECTORY ROAD SJ 80 SW (east side) 6/76 Churchyard cross about 10m south of the tower of the G.V. Church of St. Cuthbert II* Churchyard cross, now sundial. Medieval, probably C14 or C15. Sandstone. Square socket stone on a probably later stone plinth, fragment of shaft approximately 0.8m high. The upper edge of the socket stone has cable moulding and grotesque faces to the corners; the shaft has a square base and is broached to give an octagonal section; it now forms the base for a sundial. The cable moulding and the faces on the corners of the shaft are very similar to those on the cross at the neighbouring Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Albrighton (q.v. under Albrighton C.P.).
