Medieval cross 40m east of Holy Cross Church

Heritage listing

Details The monument includes a medieval cross in the churchyard of Holy Cross Church at Ashton Keynes, a village situated on the river gravels of the Thames in the north of Wiltshire. The cross has been restored and is used as a war memorial but remains in its original position. It comprises a square base reduced to an octagon with quatrefoil decoration on each face and a moulded torus. This is set on two large square steps 3.1m and 2.15m wide. The remainder of the cross is not original although the tapering shaft may have been taken from another cross in the village. All parts of the cross are included in the scheduling. This cross is one of four in Ashton Keynes, all of which are the subject of separate schedulings. MAP EXTRACT The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract.
