St Marys (Astbury)

Part of a Saxon cross shaft to the rear of the Church, above a doorway in the North West corner. Spirals and curved motifs are visble on the outward facing side. An Anglo Saxon church once stood on the site. Also of interest is a 2,000 year old hollow yew tree to the North East of the original churchyard. If visiting in April, the triangular green to the west of the church is covered in daffodils, making a most breathtaking spectacle. Access to the church subject to church opening. Church website HERE.
