This appears to be an entirely modern (1840) standing cross, erected at the entrance to Easton House (demolished 1951). The listing description states: Ashlar. Chamfered tapering cross shaft rises via roll and bar stop chamfers to square top supporting a cross on square base. The plinth sits on 2 steps and has chamfered angles with pyramidal stops and rolls.

The stables, outbuildings and gardens of the House survive and are now a visitor attraction.
