Description


NY 43 SW GREYSTOKE GREYSTOKE

12/102 Village Cross

II


Village cross. Probably C17 on C19 plinth. Red sandstone. Octagonal plinth of
5 steps, the 2 top ones original, surmounted by square base and tapered
chamfered shaft with floriated cross head. The burial register records "1623,
Nov 8, Buried Jo Nicholson the yonge childe of a poore beggar of the pishe of
Broughton, which childe died at the Towne Crosse in Graistoke" which shows that
the cross is older than this date.
