Wick St. Lawrence, WESTON-SUPER-MARE, BS22 7YR

With all the low water levels hereabouts its not surprising there are waterfowl. Muddy Lane seems equally appropriate. Oddly, the road sign appears somewhat smeared.

An Elizabethan variety, although old maps show one here from the nineteenth century. See Image for a wider view.

An old postbox and a noticeboard: the latter is actually older than it looks. There are two plaques on it, one marking the Diamond Jubilee of 2012, as well as one that marks the coronation of George V in 1911. Perhaps the actual board may be a newer version. See Image] for a look at the postbox.

The impressively mounted monument stands close to the church, which itself has a cross (although rather less of it remains). This is pretty uncommon in Britain. This cross is not accuratley dated but the style indicates it may have been crested between 1350 and 1530. In its time, the cross has had additional base stones added to the calvary, which early records seem to suggest were prone to being removed and replaced. However, the shaft is now truncated; it is believed that there was a ball finial, but the elements and vandal attacks have reduced it to a simple stone pillar. Grade II* listed. In front is a bench seat. It bears two plaques relating to the marking of VE Day (1945) and that the seat is donated by the Harvest Home.

Only minor changes to this view, since 1991 :- Image

It is dedicated to St Lawrence by the way!
