Feel free to guess what all the symbols mean...here are my wild guesses.
Top of cross...a bird is encircled by 2 entwined serpents. To the left and right of the centre of the cross (which is worn so I can't make out what was on it), look like a pair of dogs? on each side. The bottom of the cross has the body and head of a person, with their arms across their chest.
Shaft of cross...this has 6 squares of a design that I don't recognise (probably belongs to a family crest?), below this are some animals which I think include deer. At the very bottom of the cross shaft are some circles, which again I don't know.
