Description
The churchyard cross, located approximately 4 metres south of the nave of the Church of Saint John the Baptist, is a medieval structure made of gritstone. The square section shaft stands about 2 metres high, with the upper section showing significant weathering and wear, likely from blade-sharpening. This cross is noted in the book "The Buildings of England: Lincolnshire" by N. Pevsner and J. Harris, published in 1978.
