Description
The churchyard cross, likely from the 15th century, features mid-19th century repairs. It is constructed of ashlar stone and consists of three square steps followed by two octagonal steps, which include a socket for the cross shaft. The cross shaft itself is octagonal and topped with a 19th-century cross. This cross is located near the site of the medieval church of Wribbenhall, which has since been demolished.
