The Anglian high cross in the churchyard of All Saints' Church is a fragmentary stone monument dating to the Anglo-Saxon period, likely erected between the eighth and ninth centuries. The cross shaft and base survive from this early medieval example, demonstrating the sculptural traditions of Anglian stone carving in the East Midlands. High crosses of this period served important functions within early Christian communities, marking sacred spaces and serving as focal points for outdoor worship and gatherings. The monument's survival, albeit in partial form, provides valuable archaeological evidence of Anglo-Saxon religious practice and stone-working techniques in Derbyshire.
