Visit Notes

Sunday, 9th June 2002

It is always a shame to see something in this condition, but at least it is still there in some form (unlike quite a few others in this area).

A very crude crucifixion is visible on the broken face of this cross top that has been cemented into the top of a wall at the roadside.
