High Cross, St. Wilfred's Church
High Cross at St. Wilfred's Church, Halton, Lancashire.
The overall height of this pre-Norman high cross is 4.5m. The 11th century decoration on the shaft shows scenes from the Viking legend of Sigurd the dragon slayer. Christianized symbols include St George and the dragon plus the four apostles, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The cross had been broken, but was repaired in the 19th century.
