Stow Cross is a medieval wayside cross located in Huntingdonshire, England. The monument comprises a stone cross head mounted on a relatively modern base, representing the type of wayside marker that was common in medieval parishes and served both religious and practical functions for travellers and local communities. The cross dates to the medieval period, though the exact century of its original construction remains uncertain without detailed archaeological investigation. Its survival, albeit with later restoration and reinstatement of the base, reflects the importance of such monuments to the historical landscape of the East Midlands.
