Description
The Village Cross is a village cross, probably from the 14th century, which was restored in the 19th century. It is made of gritstone and has a square plan, raised on five steps. The base is square, and the shaft tapers with chamfered angles. The top, dating from the 19th century, features a moulded cap that is surmounted by a square lantern with crocketed niches and a crocketed pinnacle above. The cross is located on church property, but it originally stood on the village green before it was enclosed.
