The socket stone and step of a churchyard cross in St Andrew's churchyard, Eastleach Turville is a fragmentary medieval monument consisting of the base elements of a stone cross that originally stood within the churchyard. The socket stone and step date to the medieval period, likely erected during the later Middle Ages as part of the liturgical and communal infrastructure of the parish church. Such crosses served both practical and symbolic purposes, functioning as focal points for processions, preaching, and communal gatherings. The surviving socket stone and step represent the lower structural elements that once supported the shaft and head of the cross, and their preservation within the churchyard records the longstanding sacred geography of this Gloucestershire parish.
