Churchyard Cross. The receipts in the Woodbury accounts for 1549-1550 include an item 'ffor the spyll of the cros yn the churcheyerde'. The 'spyll' was presumably the upright shaft of the cross then removed. Apparently later replaced for in 1573-1574 an item was paid to Richard Bowdon for "defacyng the crosse yn the churcheard". A portion of stone was discovered [in the late 19th century] embedded in the ground, adjacent to the south porch of the church, which may have belonged to this cross.

Woodbury Churchyard SY009871
The receipts in the Woodbury accounts for 1549-1550 include an item 'ffor the spyll of ye cros yn the churcheyerdes…xijd', was the upright shaft of the cross then removed. Apparently, however, the cross was later replaced (probably in the reign of Mary) for in 1573-1574 an item was paid to Richard Bowdon for "defacyng the crosse in the churchyard". Recorded in 1892 'A portion of stone has recently been discovered imbedded in the ground, adjacent to the south porch of Woodbury Church, and the vicar believes it to have belonged to the churchyard cross'.
