Cross shaft in the churchyard of St Peter's Church is a fragmentary stone monument of medieval date. The shaft survives as a substantial portion of what was originally a free-standing cross, a common feature in English churchyards from the Anglo-Saxon period onwards. Such crosses served religious and community functions, marking sacred space and serving as focal points for outdoor gatherings and processions. The precise dating and original form of this example would be established through architectural analysis of its surviving stonework and any decorative elements.
