Cross in rectory garden; type b. Opposite the main entrance to the house. A granite base octagonal in shape, with the sides rising vertically for 178mm and then sloping inwards to form a smaller octagonal top surface. On this remains a fragment of the shaft, square at the base with corner spurs. Octagonal above except that this portion is missing, as the shaft had been broken across just above the spurs. Vis=21/12/1961 (os) cross is as described, but almost certainly not in situ.
