- Description
- A cross on a slender, tapering octagonal shaft with moulded collar and foot, standing on a small pedestal on a three-stepped base. The cross-head, rising from the simply moulded collar, is in the form of an equal-armed cross pommé with cusps at the intersections of the arms. It appears that at one time the names had leaded lettering due to the locating pin holes.
