Outside the churchyard are several large octagonal shafts, or pillars, that once supported the roof of The Old Shambles in the centre of the town, to be found in various parts of South Brent and they have been mistaken for cross shafts. A portion of one of these, formerly lying beside a cottage on the opposite side of the road, has now been erected outside the south gate of the churchyard. Not the shaft of the market cross of South Brent, but one of the pillars of The Shambles.

The Cheape House market stood at the head of Church Street next to the Anchor Hotel & was supported by eight pillars surmounted by a cross. The only remnant of the building is an octagonal stone outside the south gate of St Petrock's parish church. Other details: 1st Edition 1951.
