The churchyard cross in Mordiford dates from the 14th or 15th century and is made of sandstone ashlar. It features an octagonal stepped plinth and a square base with chamfered corners. On the west face, there is a pointed niche with a gable. The shaft is also octagonal, and the cross itself was added in the mid-19th century.
