In the churchyard of the church of St James is this cross with a 14th century base. The plinth and the shaft and cross are all from the 19th century restoration. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1349895 The village of Wigmore is set astride the A4110 road some 8 miles west of Ludlow in the northwest part of Herefordshire. An Anglo-Saxon village which, after the building of the castle, became a small but thriving market town. Wigmore declined when the castle owners moved their administrative centre to Ludlow and reverted to village status.
