Recommendation for listing.
On the south-east porch of St Margaret's Church the Crawshay monument is a menhir-like structure over 2m in height inscibed with a cross at the top on the west face and a long inscription to Conistantia Crawshay dated 1929. A poem is inscribed on the base but is now partly obscured. The importance of this structure is that it is of an unusual style for this region and of a period where few similar monuments are protected.
