St George's churchyard cross is a medieval monument standing in the churchyard of St George's Church in Herefordshire. The cross is a surviving example of the stone crosses that were commonly erected in parish churchyards during the medieval period, serving both as focal points for the community and as markers within the burial ground. Such crosses typically date from the later medieval period, though precise dating for individual examples often remains uncertain without detailed stylistic analysis or archaeological investigation. The monument represents an important survival of medieval parochial infrastructure and contributes to understanding the spatial organisation and religious practice of the medieval English parish.
