History

A churchyard cross of uncertain date. The base is old but it does not look medieval and it is difficult to suggest anything else appropriate. The cross dates from 1905 (inscribed).

Exterior

The cross is situated in the traditional position on the south side of the church. It is constructed of dressed sandstone blocks. Three diminishing square steps of large blocks, then a massive block for the socket stone, then a plain cross with octagonal shaft with broaches. The socket stone and the cross are both 1905, the steps are much older.

Reasons for Listing

Included as the interesting remains of a possibly medieval churchyard cross rebuilt in 1905.
