Full Description
Remains of a medieval cross at the site of the deserted medieval village of Castle Carlton. {1}{2}
The remains lie within the churchyard of the former Holy Cross Church, and comprise a square-shaped cross base and a small part of the cross shaft. The cross is thought to have originally been located a short distance away, in a small paddock on the opposite side of the road from its current location. It was moved into the churchyard at some point in the 20th century, possibly shortly after the church was demolished in 1902 (see MLI42502). A cross head thought to have formed part of this cross was formerly kept in the Church of St Edith in Little Carlton (see MLI43082)). It was moved following the demolition of that church in May 1993, and is now in the Church of St John the Bapist in Great Carlton (see MLI41310). {3}{4}
