Cadw's description
Location
Situated in the churchyard close to the south porch of the church.
Exterior
Origins as a medieval (probably C14) churchyard cross, similar in design to that at Parish Church of St Faith, Llanfoist; largely rebuilt as a War Memorial.
Tall chamfered shaft with Celtic cross to top. 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.
Included for group value with Parish Church of St Peter.
