The Village Green, Charney Bassett

Remnant of a horizontal dial on a mediaeval plinth. No markings are now visible on the stone top. There are merely the remains of an iron gnomon leaded-in. The Grade II Listed Village Cross is of limestone, and is believed to have been erected by Abingdon Abbey in the 14th century. One stone of the plinth was replaced with a marble slab as a war memorial after the First World War. It now commemorates men of Charney and Lyford villages who lost their lives in both World Wars.
