Full Description
A Celtic cross enclosed in a small rectangular area with cast iron fencing. This is a memorial to The Reverend George Pretyman the Vicar of Great Carlton who died in a shooting accident in 1850 and is located on the spot where the accident occurred. {1}{2}
The small enclosed area where the cross stands is shown on the first and second editions of the Ordnance Survey County Series maps. {3}{4}
A site visit by the East Lindsey Conservation Officer in 2014 established that the cross was still standing. In front of the cross was shield-shaped date stone with the inscription 'FP 1858'. FP is probably Frederick Pretyman who succeeded George as the incumbent at Great Carlton and was probably responsible for erecting the cross. This date stone may have come from Carlton Lodge, the residence of the Pretymans, which was demolished in the 1950s. {5}{6}
