A socket-stone, square at the base with corner shoulders and octagonal above with a chamfered top edge, bears an ancient cross, the shaft of which is square at the base with weathered stops and octagonal higher up. It tapers slightly upwards. Originally Christow churchyard cross, not the cross which formerly stood at Leigh Cross, near Bridford Bridge, as has been suggested. (1953)
The cross is as described above. (1981) Photocopied photograph from 1980 included.

Cross shaft in garden east of Canonteign Barton. Free-standing medieval granite cross. Unusually complete with a chamfered, stopped tapering shaft and chamfered head. The plinth, with chamfered stopped corners, appears to be original. There is some doubt about the original site of the cross: it has been suggested both that the cross formerly stood at Leigh Cross, near Bridford Bridge, and that it came from Christow Churchyard (source: Sites and Monuments Register). (1988) Other details: LB UID: 85588.
