Description
The base of a churchyard cross, possibly from the 15th century, is located about 10 yards south of the south-west corner of the south chapel of the Church of St Michael. It is made of sandstone and features a chamfered plinth with a square base that transitions to an octagonal shape through chamfers. The cross itself, dated 1897, sits on top but is not considered to have special architectural interest.
