Stow Cross is a medieval wayside cross located in Huntingdonshire, England. The monument survives as a stone cross shaft mounted on a stepped base, typical of the genre of parish and way crosses that proliferated throughout medieval England. Such crosses served practical and spiritual purposes, functioning as meeting points, market crosses, or devotional landmarks for travellers and local communities. The site's exact dating and original form remain subjects of archaeological study, though its current configuration reflects medieval construction practices and the vernacular stonework traditions of the period.
