Full Description

The remains of Winthorpe village cross are now situated outside the almshouses in the village. The earliest reference appears to be of a small cross near the centre of the village having been brought there from the churchyard (1).
It was apparently not on its original site when a sketch, showing it as a fragment of shaft on a square plinth and standing over a well marked by a pump on the village green, was made in 1889. In 1891 the then curate-in-chief wrote that the fragment had been removed from the cross roads near his residence to its present site. (2)
The remains comprise a plain square stone socket with the stump of a shaft, set up on a brick plinth. (3)
