Historique

Croix de cimetière en fer forgé. Le Christ cloué sur la croix a disparu. La fleur de lys du sommet se prolonge pour former quatre tiges s'épanouissant en boutons. La croix est scellée sur une colonne octogonale, de granit, à base décorative richement moulurée. Cette colonne repose elle-même sur deux degrés de granit.

History

Cemetery cross in wrought iron. The Christ nailed to the cross has disappeared. The fleur-de-lys at the summit extends to form four stems flowering into buds. The cross is sealed on an octagonal column, of granite, with a richly moulded decorative base. This column rests itself on two steps of granite.
