Description

The Churchyard Cross, located in the churchyard east of the Church of Holy Trinity, dates back to the 15th century and underwent restoration in the late 19th century. It features three octagonal steps from the 19th century, supporting the base of the original 15th-century cross, which has buttressed corners and two trefoil-headed blank panels with inset shields on each of its four faces. The 19th-century shaft rises to a height of 2 metres and is topped with a crucifixion at its apex.
