Description
The socket and base of a cross are located in the churchyard, 8 metres south of the nave of the Church of St. Peter. This structure likely dates from the 15th century and is made of dressed Ham stone. The square socket stands approximately 60 centimetres high and features the remains of the base of a broken shaft inset at its top. This is all that remains of a larger churchyard cross and is included for its group value with the Church of St. Peter.
