Description
The remains of a former churchyard cross date back to the 14th century and were restored in the 19th century. It is constructed from coursed and squared lias and freestone. The structure features a medieval socket and the stump of the original shaft, which is elevated on a tall 19th-century plinth. This plinth is further raised on a lower plinth that may be the original basement step of the cross, complete with an overhanging drip. The stump of the shaft is adorned with iron banding and an iron cruciform finial.
