Description

The churchyard cross, located north-west of the churchyard boundary wall, dates from the 14th century for its base and features a fragment of the shaft that was rebuilt in the 19th century. It is constructed from Barnack limestone and 19th-century limestone. The cross has a stepped plinth and a medieval base with a tapering shaft and weathered angle head-stops. A reused, carved figure of Christ is wired to the head of the cross.
