Description
It comprises a tall tapering stone octagonal shaft with base spurs supporting an elaborate crucifixion scene with Christ and two mourning figures, the Virgin Mary and the beloved disciple, John. Beneath the cross is a shield carved with the Greek letters alpha and omega, along with a cross pattée. To the reverse of the cross is another shield bearing the monogram IHS. On the face of the shaft is a figure of St George and the dragon under a Gothic canopy. The shaft is supported by four classical scrolls and the base is bonded into the churchyard wall to leave two sides of a square exposed.
