Description
The remains of a churchyard cross, dating from the early 15th century and restored in the 18th century, are located about 7 meters south of the porch of the Church of St George. The cross is possibly made of Ham stone and features a socket and base of the shaft set on two later square steps that form the calvary. The octagonal socket has sunk panels of sculpture, which are much eroded. The south side may depict the Virgin with the deposed body of Christ. There are square angle shafts at the corners with caps and bases, although the southwest shaft is damaged. The square shaft has angles worked to a fillet and is broken just above a bracket supported on a face.
