DONINGTON C.P. RECTORY ROAD
SJ 80 SW
(east side)
6/76
Churchyard cross about 10m
south of the tower of the
G.V. Church of St. Cuthbert
II*
Churchyard cross, now sundial. Medieval, probably C14 or C15. Sandstone.
Square socket stone on a probably later stone plinth, fragment of shaft
approximately 0.8m high. The upper edge of the socket stone has cable
moulding and grotesque faces to the corners; the shaft has a square
base and is broached to give an octagonal section; it now forms the
base for a sundial. The cable moulding and the faces on the corners
of the shaft are very similar to those on the cross at the neighbouring
Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Albrighton (q.v. under Albrighton C.P.).
