St Mary’s church at Kirkby on Bain was rebuilt in 1802, but there was a medieval church (possibly in ruins) on the site previously. Revd John Conway Walter states ‘on the south side (of the church) lies the square base of a churchyard cross, shorn of its shaft, probably by the reckless Puritans’.

Davies quotes this also, but does not mention seeing the cross. – AP visited on 8 March 1994 and could find no trace.
