Mounted on the north wall of the church and just to the right of the pulpit, was a cross from dark wood cut from an old stretcher pole donated by the Beeston Division of the St John Ambulance Brigade. The upright of the cross is the centre of the pole and the two arms were made from the stretcher handles. The cross was made for the church in 1983 by Norman Grimes, a former Divisional Superintendent of St John and a church steward for many years.
The old stretcher has its own history, being used to carry one of the first casualties in the Chilwell Depot explosion during the First World War.
In 2020, the cross was installed on the south wall of the east transept of the Beeston Methodist Church building at Chilwell Road.
