Description
The churchyard cross, located south of the Church of St Oswald, is likely from the 17th century and is made of calciferous sandstone. It features seven octagonal steps that support a shaped cross base. Atop the cross base is an 18th-century sundial shaft, which currently lacks a brass plate. This cross is listed for its group value with the Church of St Oswald.
