Anglian cross 25m south of St Peter's Collegiate Church is a pre-Conquest stone cross of Anglo-Saxon date located near Wolverhampton in Staffordshire. The monument survives as a carved stone shaft fragment bearing incised linear decoration characteristic of Anglian sculptural traditions, testifying to Christian religious activity and artistic production in the Anglo-Saxon period. Its proximity to St Peter's Collegiate Church, itself a structure of medieval foundation, suggests the cross may have formed part of an earlier ecclesiastical landscape that was subsequently built upon or reorganised during the medieval period. The cross represents an important survival of Anglian stone carving in the English Midlands, a region where such pre-Conquest religious monuments are relatively sparse.
