Village cross with sundial and stocks is a multi-functional community monument located in Yorkshire, England. The structure combines three distinct elements typical of English village centres: a market or parish cross, a sundial mounted upon it, and stocks for the punishment or restraint of offenders. Such composite monuments served important administrative and social functions from the medieval period onwards, with the stocks element typically dating from the early modern period. The surviving structure represents the practical arrangement of village authority and social order that characterised English settlements from at least the sixteenth century through the eighteenth century.
