Details

RIPLEY MARKET PLACE SE 2860-2960 (south side)

8/96 Weeping Cross approximately 5 metres north of Church of All Saints 15.3.66 (formerly listed as Weeping cross in churchyard)

GV II*

Base of weeping cross. Medieval. Gritstone. 2 circular blocks of stone, the lower having 8 recesses with segmental lower edges and a continuous roll moulding toeacharras. The upper stone has slightly inward-bowed sides; the overall height is approximately 1.5 metres and there is a rectangular cavity in the top. The recesses are said to allow the faithfull to kneel in, but assuming that the cross originally stood higher (possibly on another plinth) the recesses are more likely to be for the bowed head. The church (qv) was built in c1395; it is uncertain whether the cross stood on the earlier church site further south and was moved, or whether it was already on the site or newly erected at that date. Scheduled Ancient Monument No 417.
