Description
The village cross, now serving as a war memorial, dates back to the medieval period and was restored around 1918. It is constructed from limestone and features an octagonal base with broach stops on its narrower sides. The 20th-century shaft and cross include memorial inscriptions. This structure is included for its group value.
