Halwill Churchyard Cross
Halwill Churchyard Cross submitted by dooclay : The sides of the socket stone are ornamented by what appears to be a carved shield shape. On the west face a latin cross on two steps is cut in relief between two vertical ribs, while the east face bears a large St Andrew's cross in relief within an oval panel.
