Description

The cross was built in 1734 for Elizabeth Dupier, with the pump added in the mid 18th century. The cross is a single storey, and has an arcade of three round-headed arches with keystones on the long sides, and a tall central arch with a smaller arch on either side in the short ends. Above the small entrances are round-headed niches. The lower part of the builing is rusticated, and the pump is situated outside the south-west corner.
