Wayside Cross, Longhope

In the churchyard, sitting on top of an inspection cover. This is probably the base of a wayside cross once located at SO 69207 18642 in front of what was, in the 1880s, the Plough Inn (long gone). There are more details in the Heritage Gateway site, but the data dates from 1970 when the cross may have been opposite the medieval site.
