Description
The Village Cross, located 5 metres north of the Post Office, is a historically significant structure that likely originated within a churchyard. It dates from the late medieval period, with a shaft from the 17th or 18th century, and has undergone restorations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The cross is made of freestone and features an octagonal calvary that rises from four steps to a square socket, which is chamfered to an octagon above. The shaft is fluted and square, tapering to a flat cap. At the top, the finial has an octagonal base with worn panels and a restored floreate cross.
