Description
The churchyard cross, located approximately 3 meters north of the tower of the Church of Holy Trinity, is likely from the 15th century and underwent restoration in the mid-19th century. It is made of stone and features a base consisting of three steps. The base supports a tapering octagonal shaft, which is topped with a gabletted section that has worn gargoyles at the corners. Above this, there is probably a mid-19th century cross.
