Stump Cross is a wayside cross located in Lincolnshire, England. The monument survives as a stone cross base and shaft fragment, representing the type of roadside marker that characterised medieval and later rural England. Such crosses served practical purposes as waymarkers and gathering points for local communities, whilst also functioning as expressions of Christian piety. The surviving stonework indicates medieval origins, though the exact date of its construction and any subsequent rebuilding or repair remain typical of many such monuments which have endured significant weathering and alteration over centuries.
