Village cross is a medieval monument located in Warwickshire. The structure belongs to the category of parish crosses, which served as focal points for community gatherings, markets, and religious observances in medieval and early modern settlements. Such crosses typically comprised a stone base or shaft supporting a cross head, and functioned both as practical meeting places and as symbols of the settlement's rights and status. The specific cross at this Warwickshire location represents an important survival of this widespread monument type, which became increasingly prevalent from the twelfth century onwards.
