More information : STONE CROSS (REMAINS OF) Broadwoodwidger, situated in the churchyard. "A mis-shapen cross of rough rectangular section, with a very wide shaft and small short arms". Pieces broken off the head and left arm. Not in situ. (Type 'A'). (1)
This cross stands opposite the South porch of the church. It is
made from a flattish-slab of moorland granite and is therefore
thinner from front to back than is usually the case with
crosses of this type. E M Phillips' description is correct and
applies to the cross as viewed from the church porch. Height is
1.9m. Typical section of shaft 0.15m by 0.50m. The arms which
expand outwards project only 0.15m from the shaft. Sited at
SX 41128915. (2)
SX 41128916. As described, well preserved.
Positioned on 1:2500. See G P. (3)
