The medieval cross base south west of St Mary the Virgin's Church is a fragmentary stone monument of medieval date located in Yorkshire. The base represents the surviving foundation or lower portion of what was formerly a freestanding cross, a common feature of medieval parish churches and village greens. Such crosses served important communal functions in medieval settlements, marking gathering places and serving religious or market purposes. The survival of only the base indicates the loss of the upper shaft and head, likely resulting from damage, weathering, or deliberate destruction during periods of religious or social upheaval.
