Davies (in c.1915) reports a section of octagonal cross shaft set into the ground on the south side of Old Clee church. It is mentioned in Pevsner, and in the listing description. It could not be found during an HER site visit in 2009 and is said to now be stored inside the church, with other worked masonry.
Visited 7/9/2009, but church locked and failed to find it, so not yet photographed.
I am grateful to Geoff Wheatley for the photograph of the Old Clee shafts below – The shaft at the front is presumably the one recorded by Davies, set externally in 1915, while the one at the rear is what he suggests may be a holy water stoup (perhaps because it has such a small socket stone?). They both look look like cross shafts to me, but I shall hold my judgement until I can record them myself.
