Description
The cross in St. Christopher's Churchyard is a preaching cross, likely dating back to the Medieval period. It is made of two large, square stone blocks, with the upper block featuring the letters "ET" carved into it. The tall octagonal shaft and cross-piece were probably added during repairs that took place in the late 18th century and early 19th century.
