Description
The churchyard cross, located about 9 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of St Nicholas, dates from around 1493 to 1524 and was created by Abbot Richard Beere of Glastonbury. It is made of dressed stone and features a calvary with four octagonal steps, the base of which is benched. The socket has a shaft on each corner, and each of the four sides displays sculptured reliefs of the Emblems of the Crucifixion, along with raised letters "RB" on the north side. The square tapering shaft has a smaller inset shaft at each corner and is topped with the remains of an octagonal abacus that incorporates four angels.
