Somerset Cross

Church of St Mary's Stogumber, Somerset, This cross probably marked the place where the gospel was first preached in the village, the base and shaft being ancient though the rest is Victorian.

HWW!

Hi Roger
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition
Fantastic colours too,
Interestingly the Celtic Cross originated in Ireland, so maybe it came across the sea with a band of missionaries ..
Best Wishes, HWW,, and stay safe!!

Thank you for the excellent comments, Peter!
The original travelling priests and gospel readers may well have been of Irish origin!

That's a very impressive looking cross Roger, and I love the detail you've captured. It's weathered beautifully aided by the shapes and colour of the lichen. Very nicely captured..!!

Excellent comments Keith, thank you! Keith, a village churchyard in the Brendon Hills, that must have been a rather rich area in the past

Yes, you've have had to be pretty wealthy to afford a cross of that size and quality!
