Anglo-Saxon Cross Shaft Location: St. Peter Advincula
Church, Glebe Street, Stoke Re-erected on its modern
base in 1935, the fragment of 10th Century Anglo-Saxon stone cross shaft had been used as a door lintel in the church until its discovery by a gravedigger in 1876.
The square sectioned top of the cylindrical shaft has a different decorative motif on each face. However part of the side key pattern has been cut away, probably to allow its use as the church's door lintel.S
