Butleigh Cross War Memorial : Detail

According to my research, the war memorial at Butleigh Cross dates from 1920, but incorporates the "socket" from the original cross which has stood at these crossroads since the 14th Century. Haven't been able to find out what part of the cross a socket is but, judging from the wear and tear, this statue looks to have been around for some time. Couldn't discover who this statue is of but he enjoys a fine view towards Glastonbury, though this may have to wait to be a blip for another day.
