Carvings also show a figure on horseback and two embracing figures. The cross is mentioned in a charter of 947. The quality of this cross is outstanding for south western England and it compares well with the crosses of northern England. The crosshead is missing and a medieval niche has been added at a later date to accomodate a saint's effigy. |
