Description
The Churchyard Cross, located 3 metres north of the tower of All Saints Church, is an early 16th-century limestone structure. The base is approximately 0.90 metres square and 0.50 metres high, featuring a shield with the arms of Drury on the north and south sides within sunk square panels. The corners have buttresses with sunk trefoiled arches. The upper edge of the plinth is splayed and adorned with a fleur de lys on each face. Two sections of the shaft remain, which are tapered and square, with slender pilasters at each corner that have carved bases. The cross is badly weathered and has suffered damage from impact. In the 19th century, the plinth was repurposed as steps to the north door of the church.
