Cadw's description
Location
Situated close to the south porch of the church, beside the lime avenue.
Exterior
Substantial remains of a medieval stone churchyard cross. Tall chamfered shaft, unusually surviving up to the height of the now lost cross. At the foot it has broach stops and sits on a square base with cushioned labels. The whole is carried on a four-stepped base.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special interest as a medieval churchyard cross and for group value with the Parish Church of St Faith.
