Churchyard Cross, Colerne

Image: © Mr Red Taken: 24 May 2024

On the SE side of St John the Baptist Church. The "two-step" base is in remarkably good condition for its assessed medieval vintage. The cross is a more modern representation extrapolated from the fragment of a Saxon cross housed in the church.
