Description
The churchyard cross, located about 11 metres southeast of the chancel of the Church of St Mary, is possibly from the 15th century and was restored around 1861. It is made of local stone and features a circular two-stage calvary with a dripstone on the lower stage. The socket is eroded, and there is a 19th-century addition of a plinth, shaft, and gabled cross. According to Pooley, weather drips are rare on circular bases.
