Description

The stone shaft located in the churchyard about 3 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of St Bartholomew is a medieval cross shaft that was resited and restored in 1958. It is made of granite and stands approximately 1.5 metres high with an irregular shape. The front features a thin shaft that rises to a wheelhead, which includes three small recessed roundels at the top and bottom, and a saltire cross incised in a panel at the centre. The head of the shaft is raised at the front and has a smaller hole pierced at the centre with a hole on either side. The shaft is set on a 20th-century granite base that includes a brass plaque with an inscription.
