Churchyard Cross In Churchyard Of St Mary

The churchyard cross in the churchyard of St Mary is a medieval structure, likely from the 14th century. It is made of ashlar stone and stands 2.4 meters tall with a tapering square-section cross shaft that rests on a stone base, which is elevated by three stone steps. The cross shaft features vestigial crocket decoration along its angles, although the head of the cross is missing. The base has carved panels on the east and west sides, with decorative corners topped by cable moulding. The east panel displays a shield supported by an angel, depicting the passion nails, while the west side features a central niche with a cusped arch and smaller niches on either side. The corners of the base have eroded figurative carvings, believed to represent the four Evangelists. The top step is original, while the bottom two steps have been restored.
