The cross stands near the church door, a slightly worn Anglo-Saxon hammer-head design, with four holes and carved scrolls.
In the porch of the Church is a Viking hog-back tombstone, two parts of a 14th Century Viking cross, and two coffin lids decorated with early Christian emblems. Outside the porch, tucked in the corner to the left, is possibly a cross base. Inside the church is another cross base, currently in front the left side pews.
This cross is marked on Ordnance Survey maps.
