| Summary : A medieval wayside cross base situated to the south of the church in Colan churchyard. The cross base survives as a granite block moulded to give an octagonal section top springing from a square section base. The cross was first recorded by the local historian, Charles Henderson in the 1920s in the grounds of the vicarage at Colan. In 1971 the vicarage was sold and the cross base was moved to the churchyard. The style of the cross denotes a later medieval date, probably 15th century. It is Scheduled and Listed Grade II. |
