Churchyard cross is a medieval monument located in the churchyard of St Andrew's Church in Lincolnshire. The cross is a characteristic example of a parish churchyard cross, a monument type widely erected across England during the medieval period to serve both ritual and community functions. Such crosses typically featured a shaft mounted on a stepped base and often served as a focal point for religious observances and gatherings within the churchyard. The precise dating and original architectural details of this particular example would be documented in the official monument record, though churchyard crosses of this type generally date from the medieval period, with many examples modified or reconstructed in later centuries.
