Description
The Market Cross is a medieval structure that has been repositioned against the churchyard wall from its original location near the road. It is made of limestone and features three steps leading up to an octagonal chamfered drum and a tapered short octagonal shaft, which has likely been shortened. There is a bronze commemorative plaque dedicated to the victims of the Great War.
