Description

The churchyard cross, located to the south of the Church of St. John in Colerne, features a medieval two-step stone base and an early 20th-century tall Celtic cross. The cross was designed by H. Brakspear as a conjectural reconstruction, drawing inspiration from fragments of a 9th-century cross that are preserved in the church.
