Description
The village cross, dating from around 1912, is likely the work of Temple Moore. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and has an octagonal shape. The cross is raised on three moulded steps and features a tapering shaft that sits on a moulded plinth. The plinth is carved in low relief with scenes from the life of St Hilda. The shaft includes a high-relief carving of St Hilda set in a trefoil-headed niche, which has a moulded shelf supported by ammonite brackets and a crocketed canopy above. The cross itself has a clover-leaf design with a carved ammonite at its center. This cross was donated to the village by Sir Tatton Sykes in gratitude for the restoration of the Church of St Hilda.
