Description
The Village Cross is a medieval structure located in Nether Alderley, made from buff and red sandstone blocks. It features a massive square base that supports three graduated square steps. On top of these steps stands a cube-shaped block with a chamfered top, into which is set the broken end of a square shaft. Surrounding three sides of the base are heavy stone slabs, and there is a wooden seat against the east side.
