The Preaching Cross was built in the 14th Century and underwent extensive restoration work in the 19th Century. It is the only remaining example in the country of a preaching cross that was erected by the Friars in the cemetery. Sir John Daniel, who was beheaded for meddling in the baronial wars during the reign of Edward III, gave land to the Black Friars Monastery order and the cross was erected along with the original structure. The architecture is early decorated Gothic.
