Description

The churchyard cross, located in the churchyard of the parish church, dates from the 15th century and is made of dressed stone. It features an octagonal socket set on a base of two square steps. The tapering octagonal shaft has been restored and is topped with an ornamental finial cross. The restoration occurred at the same time as the adjacent church, as noted in Pooley's "Old Crosses of Somerset" from 1877.
