O3, A lantern headed village cross comprising head, shaft, socket stone and base, the whole mounted on a C19 / C20 circular brick plinth. Local informants state that there were steps surrounding the plinth "many years ago" but these are no longer evident. The shaft is octagonal in plan but squares into a socket hole, it does not have the weathered appearance of the head and base, suggesting restoration. The decorated socket stone sits on a high tapered base and the head is fine and original.
