Outside the west front of St. Mary's Church there stands a large apparently modern cross of rectangular section. An equal-armed Maltese Cross with a square boss at the intersection of the arms. It was once on top of the church but was removed because it was unsafe.

The cross may be located outside St. Mary's Chruch, Highweek.
