There is a standing cross shaft amongst gravestones to the south west of the south porch of St Nicholas church in Walcot. Records suggest this is a shaft only, with no socket stone below, but none of us have checked.

Davies (1913) records it as octagonal and 1.82m high, with a sundial on top. – The iron gnomon (which is very simple) is still there.
