On each face between the arms there is a small deep upright rectangular recess. An inscription in semi-relief around the top of each step of the pedestal records that the cross was restored in 1898 to the memory of the rev. G. G. Gutteres (rector 1892-1897) during whose incumbency the head of the cross was found outside the churchyard. The shaft, which had been used as a gatepost, was preserved in the rectory garden. Of local stone. Vis=26/11/1953 (os). Length 0. M, width 0.2m. Height above socket stone 1.8m. Vis=churchyard cross. C15, restored in 1897. Granite. Cross is made up of 2 pieces and stands approximately 2 metres high. It is a plain latin cross, chamfered edges and slightly tapering shaft. There is a small niche in the front (south) side at the intersection of the arms. The socket stone and 2-step plinth dates from the restoration which is recorded in an inscription around the top step. |
