The Cross.

I am sure it has a correct name but I am not sure what it is.  We have lived in the village nearly 40 years and I have never heard it called anything other than "The Cross".

I understand it or at least the pillar and the top two steps date from the early 17th Century.  There is a reference to a beggars child who died at the cross in 1623 so it was in existence in 1623.  I also have been given to understand the steps other than the top 2 are 19th Century.

Not much inspiration to day so I took this shot when I went into the village to visit the shop.
