Description

The cross located approximately 5 metres south of the south porch of St Peter's Church is likely from the 13th century but was re-set in the 18th century. It is made of ashlar stone and features an upper section with a chamfered rectangular shaft and a small, damaged wheel cross head that stands about 70 centimetres high. The cross is set on a square base and is included in the listing for its group value with the church.
