St John the Baptist Church, Shenstone

There are possible remains of a stone polar cross in broken pieces, at the foot of a circular sectioned stone column. The capital of the column lies alongside, upside down. Ref: Mrs Gatty,1889. The Internet says: The churchyard commands extensive views, and has a beautiful dial shaft, with a long inscription, erected by Rowland Fryth, and now surmounted by a cross. Ref: Henslow ’Ye Sundial Booke’, Foyle Ltd, London, 1935, p127.
