Cadw's description
Location
Situated on the S side of the churchyard at the Parish Church of St. Chad.
History
Probably erected in 1736 although the column is sometimes claimed to be a re-used Roman column on the basis of its entasis.
Exterior
Sandstone shaft, clearly shaped as a column mounted on 2 concentric stone steps. The initials and date `RCW 1736 TP?W' are carved onto the shaft. The upper face no longer retains its dial and gnomon.
Reason for designation
Listed for group value with the Parish Church of St. Chad.
