Churchyard cross, remains of. C15. Dressed red sandstone. Octagonal base consisting of 3 steps with socket for former shaft. The cross base stands to the south-west of the ruins of the former church of St. Mary (q.v.) which was abandoned and partly demolished in 1858. A photograph in the Shropshire Libraries collection shows the cross still with at least half of its shaft surviving. At the time of survey (December 1986) the cross base was overgrown and largely obscured. The Flags is not included on this list. D.H.S.
