Churchyard cross in St John the Baptist's churchyard

Heritage listing

Details The monument includes a cross with restored shaft and head situated in the churchyard at Chaceley c.6m south of the church. The cross, which is Listed Grade II, has a square two step calvary, a socket stone, a restored shaft surmounted by a restored decorated terminal and cross head. The first step of the calvary is 2.4m long and is flush with the grass, the second step is 1.8m long and 0.4m high. Above this is the socket stone, square at its base, with broaches at its angles, forming an octagonal top. It is 0.73m wide and 0.45m high. The c.1.5m high shaft, square at the bottom, tapers to the restored decorated terminal and cross head. The calvary is constructed from stone blocks. The socket stone is hewn from one piece of stone. These have the appearance of great age, but the shaft and head appear more modern. The cross is used as a war memorial, and on the shaft is a plaque with an inscription to those from the village who fell in the First World War.
