Historique
Croix en fer forgé à quatre rangs d'arcs épineux. Trois tenons étaient destinés à recevoir des lanternes. Des tigelles à anneaux émergent des feuilles et devaient recevoir des chaînes qui réunissaient les bras. Le Christ et la Vierge sont abrités sous un auvent en forme d'abat-voix. Une inscription gothique occupe le pied de la croix et son dernier tiers.

History
Cross in wrought iron with four rows of thorny arcs. Three tenons were intended to receive lanterns. Small shafts with rings emerge from the leaves and were to receive chains which united the arms. The Christ and the Virgin are sheltered under an awning in the form of a sounding board. A Gothic inscription occupies the base of the cross and its last third.
