Architecture:

It is a Maltese Cross with arcading decoration between the head and arms on each side. It is about 1.84m (6.04 ft) high with the 'handles' being 1.23m (4.04 ft) of the way up. The wheel-head is incomplete and the arms are shoulder like projections or 'handles', below the arms there is a shield and crossed staffs on each side.

There is a rectangular recess at the back where a lead plate may have been inset. The square base sits angularly on a larger modern square stone. It is made from Barnack stone and down the side it has ornamental carving resembling Norman work. It is now quite weathered but has been recognised as a scheduled monument since 1957.

Social History :

It was found at the former cross road junction between Whittlesey and Farcet. It can be seen on a 17th century map, standing on the side of the road near a piece of land called Lampass Furlong, which is now Stanground Cemetery.

The local vicar, Robert Cory, found the stone in 1865 and had it taken to the vicarage garden where it stood until 1927. It was then moved to inside the churchyard, where it still stands today.
