Description
The churchyard cross at the Church of St. Michael and All Angels is made of white limestone. It features a short polygonal shaft topped with a cross-head that sits in a square socket on a base made up of three square steps. The shaft has been truncated, and the cross-head, which seems to be made from a different type of stone, likely originates from another location.
