Scheduled Ancient Monument: CHURCHYARD CROSS IN ST ANDREW'S CHURCHYARD, POUND GREEN (33285)

The monument includes the remains of a standing stone cross located within the churchyard of St Andrew's Church, approximately 20m to the south of the south western corner of the chancel and 24m to the south east of the south porch of the church. The cross, which is a Listed Building Grade II, is medieval in date and includes the socket stone and the lower part of the shaft. The socket stone, which stands square to the church, measures 0.80m square at the base. There are well defined angular mouldings at the angles and the upper edge is chamfered to an octagonal section on the surface. It measures 0.58m in height, and there is decorative moulding around the upper part of the stone displaying two quatrefoils on each of the eight faces. The shaft is mortised into the socket stone and measures 0.26m high by 0.31m square in plan. The full height of the cross in its present form is approximately 1.06m. The surface of the pathway immediately to the south of the cross is excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath it is included.
