Thought to be 14th or 15th century, but obviously now missing its head which was removed in the 19th century and subsequently lost; the cross-shaft is split, which may have been the reason the head was taken off. The remains as seen now were Grade II* listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101221769-churchyard-cross-about-5-metres-south-east-of-the-chancel-of-the-church-of-st-giles-badger#.YHvpBuhKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1221769 in 1984.
