Description
This description is for a portion of a medieval cross located sixty metres southeast of Corton Denham House. The base of the cross is possibly from the 14th century and is made of ham stone. It measures about 800 millimetres square and stands approximately 450 millimetres high. There is a fragment of the shaft that is about 400 millimetres wide and 1 metre high, featuring chamfered and broached edges, with remnants of carved detail on the north face. The cross was discovered in the 19th century and was set up in the grounds of the former rectory by Reverend W.B. Portman, who was the rector during the rebuilding of the Church of St Andrew.
