Cross, thatched cottages and daffodils. 'According to village tradition, the yew tree which survived until its stump was removed in 1861, was the very one under which St Wilfrid conducted his ministry in what is now West Meon. The memorial cross which may be seen today was built in its place.' http://www.wilfrid-meon-pilgrimage.co.uk/church_st_john_the_evangelist_west_meon.htm Although another story is told on: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=41994 [Many thanks - Keith Baker].
