A stone cross is reported to have been removed from the churchyard and built into a stable wall attached to the New Inn. However, Crossing considers that this cross and the cross-incised stone found when a flight of steps leading to the vestry above the almshouse were taken down in 1861 are one and the same. The incised stone was built into the wall of the avenue leading to the rectory and remained there until 1920 when the rectory was sold. It was then removed to the churchyard and has now been placed inside the church.
