Cross shaft in St Mary's churchyard is a fragmentary stone monument of medieval date, likely belonging to the Anglo-Saxon or early medieval period based on its form and construction. The shaft survives as a single stone element, characteristic of the cross monuments that once stood prominently in churchyards and served both spiritual and community functions in medieval England. The piece demonstrates the quality of stone working typical of the period, though its current condition reflects centuries of weathering and loss. Such cross shafts represent important evidence of religious practice and monumental sculpture in Yorkshire during the medieval centuries.
