The cross in St Peter's churchyard is a good example of a medieval standing cross with a stepped base and restored socket stone and shaft. It is believed to stand in its original position, and limited development in the area immediately surrounding the cross suggests that archaeological deposits relating to the monument's construction and use in this location are likely to survive intact. The restoration of the cross illustrates its continued function as a public monument and amenity.
