Historique
Croix du 15e ou du 17e siècle qui aurait été à l'origine une croix expiatoire élevée après l'assassinat d'un marchand puis devenue croix de procession. Dominant un fût octogonal, lui-même posé sur une base cubique, la croix est à trois branches trilobées et porte un relief effacé. La date de DCXII portée sur la base indique un remploi.

History
Cross of the 15th or 17th century which would originally have been an expiatory cross erected after the murder of a merchant and later became a processional cross. Surmounting an octagonal shaft, itself set on a cubic base, the cross has three trilobate arms and bears an effaced relief. The date DCXII carried on the base indicates reuse.
