Wayside Cross at Hatherop is a medieval stone cross situated in Gloucestershire. The monument survives as a substantial stone structure typical of wayside crosses erected during the medieval period, which served as waymarkers, preaching stations, or focal points for local communities. Such crosses were common features of the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards, though many were destroyed or fell into disrepair following the Reformation. The Hatherop example represents a notable survival of this monument type in the Cotswolds region.
