Just outside the porch of the church is a base of a medieval stone cross. This is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The cross itself was destroyed during the Civil War. It is now mounted by a horizontal sundial made by Samuel Thorp in 1819 and inscribed, "Ab Hoc Momento pendet Aeternitas." It has been suggested that the cross may have been used by peripatetic priests, as a Preaching cross, before the church building and the church itself was deliberated built to the north of the cross itself beyond the shadow of the cross.
