Asfordby Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Leicestershire and Rutland | Visited | 17th Mar 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Asfordby Village Cross: Not really much to see, as the cross shaft is obviously modern, on an older base, but as this was just round the corner from All Saints, we whizzed round to take a very quick look. | 121 | 2 |
Bottesford Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Leicestershire and Rutland | Visited | 17th Mar 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Market Cross, Bottesford: We saw this purely by chance as we turned down the road heading north towards the A1 and home, and stopped to take photographs. The village stocks and whipping post were right next to the cross, which was placed on top of five steps, the top two of which are modern repairs. | 121 | 6 |
St Bartholomew (Sproxton) | Ancient Cross | England | Leicestershire and Rutland | Visited | 17th Mar 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Sproxton Cross, St Bartholomew's Church: This church was a little way out of the village and we parked in a small metalled area next to a 'gallop' at SK 85667 24972 and braved the wind to walk back down the road to the gate into the churchyard.

The congregati... Read More |

St Michael and All Angels (Harston) | Ancient Cross | England | Leicestershire and Rutland | Visited | 17th Mar 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Anglo Saxon cross fragments, St Michael and All Angels, Harston: Before visiting, I wasn’t able to find out much about the church or the AS stone fragments. I was hoping for a church guide book, but there was nothing. There were newspaper articles and photos of the bell tower and the bells displa... Read More |

St Peter's Church (Redmile) | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | England | Leicestershire and Rutland | Visited | 17th Mar 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Carved Anglo Saxon Stone, St Peter's Church, Redmile: Our last planned visit before heading off home, and this church didn't disappoint, despite being greeted by "Warning. Falling Masonry" signs on entering the church through the south door! The north western part of the nave was cordoned off, with... Read More |
