Churchyard Cross in St Denys's churchyard is a medieval stone monument that stands within the grounds of the parish church at Ribbesford in Worcestershire. The cross is a substantial example of a churchyard cross, a common feature of English parishes from the medieval period onwards, which typically served both religious and secular functions within the community. The monument is constructed of stone and retains its characteristic cross form, though like many such structures it has experienced damage and alteration over the centuries. Such crosses commonly marked the centre of the churchyard and served as gathering points for parishioners, sites for preaching, and focal points in funeral processions and other ecclesiastical ceremonies.
