Standing cross, Clowne is a medieval wayside cross located in the parish of Clowne in Derbyshire. The monument survives as a stone cross shaft mounted on a stepped base, a form typical of crosses erected during the later medieval period to serve as roadside markers, meeting places, or focal points for local communities. The cross stands within the village and represents the broader tradition of stone cross construction that characterised English settlements from the thirteenth century onwards. Such crosses frequently marked important routes or served administrative and social functions within their parishes, and the survival of this example contributes to understanding the material culture and settlement patterns of medieval Derbyshire.
