Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes
Dacre Church submitted by nicoladidsbury on 22nd May 2005. St Andrew's Church - 9th Century Cross Fragment.
This is the smaller fragment, which is believed to date from the 9th century, was found in 1900 close to the Church and deep in clay. It is considerably damaged but some detail of the carving is still quite sharp. The least damaged face of the shaft, where the top has been broken off, shows two pairs of human feet. Beneath is a lion-like winged creature, with a large face and sorrowful eyes, with the head and part of the body of a serpent.

Chysauster Fogou
Date Added: 15th Dec 2013

Chysauster Fogou submitted by enkidu41 on 26th Apr 2004. SW 4720 3483
Only 2 roofing lintels remain of this fogou associated with Chysauster Courtyard House village. The English Heritage response to the cost of restoration is sadly predictable.
