Cross In Churchyard Of Church Of St Mary

The cross in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary is a 14th-century churchyard cross made of ashlar. It features a cross shaft with a tabernacle head set on a stepped plinth. The shaft is a plain tapered octagonal shape with chamfer terminations, resting on a square plinth that has a plain chamfered octagonal top edge, which is elevated on four simple hexagonal steps. The tabernacle head has four gabled niches capped with a finial and houses much eroded figurative sculptures. The head is supported by a raised ornamented band. The figures depicted are the Crucifixion on the west side and the Nativity on the east side. This cross is reputed to have been erected during the reign of Edward II and is noted as the best surviving churchyard cross in the county.
