The Village cross 170m north west of St Mary's Church is a medieval monument located in Gloucestershire. This structure represents a typical example of the village crosses that served as focal points for community gathering, commerce, and public proclamations in English settlements from the medieval period onwards. The precise date of its construction and original form remain less extensively documented in the scholarly record than some other comparable crosses, though its designation as an ancient monument reflects its historical significance to the settlement. Such crosses were often rebuilt or repaired over successive centuries, and their survival into the modern period provides valuable evidence of longstanding patterns of community organisation in rural English parishes.
