Description
The granite cross stands outside the church’s south entrance, alongside a churchyard path. The rough-hewn cross has the monogram IHS carved at the centre of the cross arms. The cross shaft rises from an octagonal four-stepped base, in the manner of a churchyard or preaching cross. The inscriptions, in applied metal letters, are recorded on the front faces of each step.
