Description

The cross in the churchyard of St Giles is made of limestone. It features four square steps that diminish in size, each with lips, although the bottom step appears to have been renewed. The base is a plain socket stone, leading to a tapering shaft that transitions from square to octagonal. At the top of the shaft is a knop head, and above this is a small 20th-century cross.
