Theme 351 - Cross

All Saints Church - Hoby, Leicestershire

Yes, this is a cross, or at least it was when the church was built. Apparently, this little church was built in the troubled years that followed the death of King John in 1216. The bases of the piers in the nave suggest that it was built on the site of an older church. The nave is original and the clerestory was added in the 14th century.
