Description

The churchyard cross, dating from the 14th to 15th century, is made of sandstone and features three steps leading to its base. At the top, there is a stone block with chamfered corners and a semi-circular headed niche on the west face. Above this block is the stump of a shaft. This style of cross is also found in Coddington and Clifton-upon-Teme.
