The village cross is a sandstone cross with a cast iron body from 1879. The cross, which is 3.45 m high, was restored in 1980. It bears the following inscription:
Save your soul Erected on October 29, 1879

Next to the wayside cross is a symbolic wheel from the winding tower of the nearby former Sophia-Jacoba colliery.
