The cross dates from the early to mid-17th century and was restored in 1897. It is constructed of sandstone and stands on an artificially stepped natural outcrop of red sandstone. Its shaft stands in a square pavilion of red sandstone with square corner pillars. It has a stone roof with a pedimented gable to each face and ball finials. Above the cross is an extension which carries a stone ball and an ornate weather vane. On the east, south and west gables are bronze sundials of 1897 carrying the inscriptions "We are a Shadow", "Save Time" and "Think of the Last".

The adjacent stocks are separately Grade II listed.{{National Heritage List for England| num=1265843 |desc=Stocks at Lymm Cross |grade=II |accessdate=6 August 2017|mode=cs2|fewer-links=yes}}
