Ancient Cross in Isle of Man
A Norse cross with pierced sections and a great deal of elaborate carving of Norse mythology etc. Called the Thor cross because one of the scenes shows a man carrying a large object in one hand though to be the head of an ox which Thor used as fishing-bait to catch a huge serpent. Found when the old church was demolished in 1869.
