Description
This churchyard cross, located about 4 yards south of the westernmost window on the south side of the nave of the Church of St Andrew, is likely from the 14th century but contains earlier elements. It is made of sandstone ashlar and features three square steps leading up to a square base. In this base, there is a square socket that holds an ill-fitting octagonal shaft, which stands about three feet high. At the top of the shaft is a chamfered cushion capital, probably dating from the late 11th or 12th century, which has fittings for a sundial. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments suggests that this capital may have originated from the south doorway of the Church of St Andrew.
