Description
The remains of a churchyard cross, likely dating from the early 14th century, are located about 7 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Peter in Huish Champflower. The cross is made of red sandstone and features one octagonal step with a square step projecting below, which may have been reset. The tall socket is heavily eroded, giving it an octagonal appearance, although it was described as a square broached to an octagon by Pooley in 1877. Above the socket is the stump of a tapering shaft with broaches.
