A cross is reported at Searby cum Owmby by Davies (1915), who says it is modern and erected by a vicar of Searby, Mr Townsend, around 1895. Davies records two steps, a base and a cross 1.98m high.
However, Kelly’s Directory (1919 and 1930) reports: ‘the base of a churchyard cross still remains’, and the Lincs HER records: ‘A restored medieval cross in St Nicholas churchyard’.
Searby cross was not visited by AP, or by Hilary and I – but clearly needs a survey to work out if any medieval cross elements survive here.
