Description
The churchyard cross, dating from the 14th century with additions made in 1906, is constructed of ashlar stone. It features a square base consisting of three steps, which has been partly restored. This base supports a square block with hollow chamfered angles that accommodates the cross base. The shaft of the cross is a tapering square in plan, also with chamfered angles. At the top, there is a gabled lantern from 1906, designed in the style of the 14th century, which is surmounted by a cross fleury.
