The Two Dales Cross is a fragmentary Anglo-Scandinavian high cross now relocated to the churchyard of All Saints' Church at Darley in Derbyshire. Dating to the ninth or tenth century, the cross represents evidence of the artistic and religious culture of the Danelaw period, when Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon traditions merged in the northern and central regions of England. The surviving portion displays characteristic carved decoration typical of the period, though its incomplete state reflects the fragmentary nature of many such monuments that have survived from this era. The cross testifies to the Christian worship practices and material culture of medieval Derbyshire during the Viking Age and its aftermath.
