Lady Cross is a wayside cross situated in Yorkshire, north of the A171 road near Barnby. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents the type of stone cross that once marked routes and served various functions within the landscape, including potential use as a waymarker or meeting point. The cross survives as a standing stone monument, though like many examples of its kind, it has experienced weathering and alteration over centuries of exposure. Such crosses are characteristic features of the medieval English countryside and this example contributes to understanding the pattern of religious and secular monuments distributed across the region during the medieval era.
