SANCREED. (i) Ornamented cross standing in the churchyard by west side of path from 

 south entrance. Formerly deeply sunk in ground. Inscription found by the writer in 

 digging to find lower parts of ornament. Raised and mounted on an old cross-base by the late 

 vicar, Rev. R. Basset Rogers, on 15 June, 1895. On the front of the head in bold relief is 

 the figure of our Lord with extended arms, clothed in a tunic, the feet resting on a rounded 

 projection. The middle section of the shaft is filled by a jug holding a long-stemmed fleur de 

 lis. At the top of the lowest panel is an almost obliterated inscription, apparently INCX with 

 x below. On the right side, below the diagonal key-pattern ornament, is a much-defaced 

 inscription in two lines, N i + FILIVS 1C. (Plate III, fig. 24). (2) Ornamented cross standing

 front of the head is the figure of our Lord in relief. Below the interlaced work of the 

 middle panel is an inscription in two lines, R u N H o [L] (?) Possibly there may have been other 

 letters at the top of the shaft. (Plate VI, fig. 37.)
