Description
The Churchyard Cross, located 5 metres south of the south porch of the Church of Saint Leonard, is a churchyard cross that likely dates from the 15th century, with a 19th-century top. It is made of Doulting stone and features a square base that measures about 2.2 metres wide and 400 millimetres high, with a second plain step that is approximately 1.5 metres wide and 250 millimetres high. The cross has a circular shaft socket, and the moulding may have been recut. The tapering octagonal shaft also has chamfers that are likely recut, with the upper half being from the 19th century. At the top of the cross is a heavy structure featuring the monogram IHS and a plain quatrefoil panel that is incised within it.
