Description
The Churchyard Cross, possibly from the 14th century, is made of limestone. It features a tall chamfered shaft that rises from a square base and ends in a very weathered carved capital, which may depict foliate volutes or human masks. Above the capital is the cross head, which has a very elaborately curved and scrolled design.
