Description
The remains of a churchyard cross, dating from the 15th century, are located about 2 meters north of Sandford Chapel at the Church of All Saints. The cross is possibly made of Ham stone and features one stage of calvary with a drip stone. It has an octagonal base with a chamfered plinth leading to a square socket, along with angle shafts and recessed panels that are carved with shields. At the time of the survey in January 1935, the cross was noted to be in poor condition. Historian Pooley suggests that the angled shafts may have originally extended as flying buttresses to the shaft.
