Shocklach millennium cross and pinfold on Worthenbury Road. My thanks to Alison Macchi who supplied the following info: Dear Jeff Thanks for your message and glad you noticed the "cross". Actually, it's not ancient at all but was made by someone in the village to celebrate the millennium. There was an opening ceremony and lots of people helped. It was put in a sort of square "lay-by" at the side of the road which was called "the pinfold" which was where any stray animals were put if found on the road in the old days until someone claimed them. The cottage opposite is called Pinfold Cottage and there used to be an old farm of the same name where the rather grand new house is now. Hope you tried the pub as well. Kind regards. Alison Macchi
