Cadw's description
Location
On the south side of the nave of Church of St Peter.
History
A churchyard cross of uncertain date. The base is old but it does not look medieval and it is difficult to suggest anything else appropriate. The cross dates from 1905 (inscribed).
Exterior
The cross is situated in the traditional position on the south side of the church. It is constructed of dressed sandstone blocks. Three diminishing square steps of large blocks, then a massive block for the socket stone, then a plain cross with octagonal shaft with broaches. The socket stone and the cross are both 1905, the steps are much older.
Reason for designation
Included as the interesting remains of a possibly medieval churchyard cross rebuilt in 1905.
