The Anglian high cross in the churchyard of St Helen's Church is a fragmentary stone monument of Early Medieval date, likely erected during the Anglo-Saxon period. The surviving remains consist of portions of the shaft and head characteristic of the high crosses that served as foci for Christian worship and community gathering in Anglo-Saxon England. Such monuments are significant archaeological indicators of ecclesiastical centres and the spread of Christianity across the Midlands region. The cross's survival, albeit in damaged form, provides material evidence for the religious life and stone-carving traditions of early medieval Nottinghamshire.
