Description: A calvary with a budded cross hooded by a small gablet. Just beneath the cross on all four sides are carved: crossed keys of St Peter, the coat of arms of England, the invicta horse of Kent and the coat of arms of the diocese of Canterbury. The cross surmounts a tapering octagonal shaft which stands on a two stepped octagonal base. The base stands on an octagonal plinth.
