Description
This is a fragment of a medieval cross shaft located at the base of a tree at the corner of a road junction in Lopen. Made of Ham stone, the square plain shaft measures approximately 300mm by 300mm and stands 500mm high, with another fragment of stone nearby. This cross marked the site of the Lopen Fair, which was first recorded in 1201 and discontinued in the 19th century. Notably, it was at Lopen Fair that the young curate, who later became Cardinal Wolsey, was put into the stocks for being drunk and disorderly.
