Majick123 visited on 2nd Aug 2013 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Clearly the base of the Old Village Cross, which has been weathered and worn down over many years. Just up the road from the Braisnose Arms and a Short Walk to the Red lion.

Cup and Saucer Stone
Cup and Saucer Stone submitted by Celia_Haddon : CUP AND SAUCER STONE, CROPREDY. This worked stone, thought to be either a font or the base of a cross, now sits on a mown road edge near a new estate. The road is called Cup and Saucer - so the stone has been acknowledged and claimed. (Vote or comment on this photo)

The road the stone is on is actually called Cup and Saucer.

According to the Cropredy home page: 'The remains of the medieval cross can be seen near to the Village Green - this is much weathered and is known locally as the "Cup and Saucer" which it now resembles.'
