Description
The churchyard cross, located 10 metres northeast of the north porch of the Church of All Saints, is likely from the 15th century and made of Ham stone. It features a square step that supports a large socket, which measures 600 millimetres squared and is 400 millimetres high, chamfered to an octagonal shape at the upper edge, with a hint of broaches at the angles. The single-stone shaft stands about 2.7 metres high, is 350 millimetres square at the base, and tapers upwards. It is said to be mortised into the socket with lead, as noted by Pooley in "Old Crosses of Somerset" from 1877.
