Ancient Cross in Cumbria
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for these ancient cross fragments - see their entry for St. James Church, Burton-in-Kendal, Cumbria which includes a drawing of the cross fragments and descriptions taken from 19th and 20th century sources.
The Royal Commission dates the cross shafts as probably late 10th century.
The church itself is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 43014 which simply says the church contains a fragment of early medieval cross shaft.
