Photograph at the Multicoloured plaque № 39193 plaque

This Cross Shaft possibly dates to the 9th Century A.D. and is all that remains of the Anglo-Saxon Monastery. Originally it may have been a Roman column brought from Viriconium near Wroxter in Shropshire. You can still see the remains of the elaborate carving that once covered the upper part of the shaft. But the head of the cross has disappeared.
