Fragment of medieval cross shaft. Ham stone. Square plain shaft about 300mm x 300mm, 500mm high, with another fragment
of stone nearby. This cross marked the site of the Lopen Fair, first recorded by 1201, discontinued during the C19. It
was at Lopen Fair that as a young curate the later Cardinal Wolsey was put into the stocks for being drunk and
disorderly. (Hopper S, Lopen and its Church, Petherton Press, 1975; VCH, Vol III, l974).
