Group value: with the Grade-I listed Church of St Peter and the scheduled and Grade-II listed medieval cross within the churchyard.
MATERIALS: a timber frame set on granite stone plinths, with a hipped and gablet roof covered in clay tiles.
PLAN: of two unequal bays comprising a coffin and a pedestrian entrance accessed from north to south.
