Description
The base of a churchyard cross, likely from the 13th century, is located about 7 meters south of the porch of the Church of St Michael in Blackford, Compton Pauncefoot. It is made of Doulting stone and features a square base plinth with broached upper corners. There are remains of a shaft stub still in place, and it is possible that the cross has been relocated.
