Description
The Churchyard Cross, likely dating from the 16th century, is made of gritstone. It features a chamfered base that is square in shape and is raised on three stone steps. The shaft is octagonal and tapers upwards, with stops at the bottom that create a square section at its lowest part. The cross has a moulded cap and is topped by a cross from the 20th century.
