Description

The Wayside Cross, located at Veldings Corner in Burnham Overy Town, is a medieval stone structure that features a partly rendered brick plinth. The cross has a square base with telescoping knobs and an octagonal shaft that is also partly surviving. It is believed that this cross gave its name to Brothercross Hundred.
