The standing cross 6 metres north west of the west front of St Mary's Church is a medieval monument of uncertain date, though likely to belong to the later medieval period. The cross appears to be a relatively modest example of the type, with a stone shaft remaining as the principal visible feature. Such crosses were common fixtures in medieval churchyards and villages throughout England, serving variously as focal points for gatherings, markers of parish boundaries, or locations for public proclamations. The monument's survival to the present day, despite the inevitable weathering and loss typical of such exposed structures, attests to the durability of stone construction and the longstanding significance of the site around St Mary's Church.
