Description
The Wayside Cross is a medieval structure that was restored in 1856 by G.E. Street. It is made of limestone and features an octagonal shaft with broach stops, which is likely from the 19th century. This shaft rises from an octagonal base, also with broach stops, set on a three-step square ashlar plinth. The head of the cross was replaced in the late 20th century.
