Ancient Cross in Worcestershire
Historic England give the following details: 'Base and shaft of cross in St Mary and All Saints Churchyard (formerly listed as the Churchyard cross) SO 8376 1/17 20.10.52 II GV 2. The base and shaft only of a medieval cross, mutilated during the Commonwealth. Mentioned in Leland's 'Itinerary'. Moved to its present site in 1876, when the new cross was erected'.
Looks more like a reused Menhir now after the damage. There is a carpark nearby just off the Ringway, currently 70p for 30 minutes.
