The Cross base and shaft at St Margaret's Church is a medieval stone cross of early medieval date, located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a substantial base and shaft characteristic of high crosses erected during the Anglo-Saxon or early Romanesque period, serving as a focal point within the church precinct. Such crosses functioned both as expressions of Christian devotion and as prominent markers within ecclesiastical landscapes. The survival of both base and shaft elements provides evidence of medieval religious practice and the architectural traditions of northern England during this period.
