The remains of a Medieval market cross which stands 100m north of St John's Church.

The base, shaft and capital are composed of 3 separate stones; the shaft being morticed into the base and capital. On the 4 faces of the capital were niches, containing, 1. The Rood; 2. The Trinity; 3. St Peter with his key; the 4th has fallen away. The head of this ‘highly superstitious’ cross is reported to have been preserved from destruction by having been covered by a shed for many years.

Hiking

Not at all a highlight ... it's had some bad luck over many many years and is currently no better than an eyesore.
