The work features a square base of three diminishing steps, with a broached socket stone and octagonal shaft going to square with panelled faces. It has a tabernacle head with four modern figures in niches capped by a small crocketed spire. The partly medieval cross, probably fifteenth-century, which was rebuilt in 1888, incorporates the socket stone and possibly the base of the shaft. New figures were added 2002.
