Description
The churchyard cross at the Church of Holy Trinity dates from the 14th century and was restored in 1903. It is made of limestone ashlar and features a square cross that rises with stop chamfers to a restored gabled head. The head has crocketed ogee panels that display carvings of the Crucifixion and the Risen Lord, topped with a pinnacle and a small cross. The square base of the cross is also adorned with elaborate stop chamfers. An inscription on one side notes its restoration in 1903.
