    Hiking

    The remains of a late 14th-century cross. Before the Reformation in the 16th century it would have served as a single memorial to everyone buried here. Much of the stepped base is now below ground level but you can see the deep recess at its top. This is where a pentient (a person who repents their sins) would have knelt.
    The graveyard was landscaped in 1974 and the displaced gravestones now pave the area where the nave and north aisle once stood.
