Churchyard cross, St Helen's churchyard is a medieval stone cross located in the churchyard of St Helen's Church in Lincolnshire. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents a type of structure commonly erected in English churchyards from the twelfth century onwards, serving both practical and spiritual functions within the parish. The cross would have functioned as a focal point for the Christian community and potentially as a preaching platform or gathering place. Such churchyard crosses typically comprised a stone base and shaft supporting a head carved with a cross motif, though the current condition and any surviving architectural details of this particular example would require site inspection to fully characterise.
