10/19 Cross adjacent to steps at western approach to Church of All Saints.

GV II

Cross. Possibly C11. C19 base. Gritstone. The cross is in 4 parts, the main part of the shaft being part of a reconstruction. The parts are thought to be from different crosses. The head has arms of 'hammer-head' type. The main (west) face appears to have its main motif cut back. The reverse face is plainer. The upper section of the shaft is quite small and tapers asymmetrically upwards. The lower section of the shaft shows, on its west face, what may be the lower part of a figure or two opposed figures, and 'D' motifs. Octagonal base.

P.F. Ryder. Saxon Churches in South Yorkshire (South Yorkshire County Archaeology Services). 1982.
