Yeah. Why not? :-) Maybe not Norman, then, but it's a cross. It's tall, square in section and it's in a churchyard. Don't think there's much sandstone around Willenhall and if the church is sandstone it was probably made at the same time.

It's a cross stump. A Victorian one at that.

Hey I was bought up in Willenhall as a child;), home of keys I think.. but FW is vaguely right, there seems to be patterning on the side facing away from the camera... probably a celtic cross ;)or Norman, or Victorian.
