Description
The churchyard cross base and sundial, located 5.5 metres southeast of the Church of St. Peter, is a historical structure. The base is likely medieval, while the column and sundial date from the 17th century. Made of limestone, the cross features a square socket stone and two steps leading up to a Tuscan column that lacks a base. The column is topped with an abacus and a square cap, which has a sundial incised on each face, and is finished with a ball finial.
