Ancient Cross in Shropshire

Tall Cross behind the Church, looks like it was converted to a sundial. Historic England states:
Churchyard cross, now sundial. Probably C15. Dressed red sandstone. 4 square steps; square base with evidence of probable carved heads at corners, now chamfered; tapering square shaft with chamfered and stopped corners; moulded neck to square sundial block (probably a C17 alteration) with damaged pyramidal cap.
