Stump Cross is a wayside cross located in Norfolk, England, and represents a type of medieval monument commonly erected at roadsides and boundaries throughout England. The cross survives in fragmentary form, with only the lower portion or stump remaining, which is typical of many such crosses that were damaged or deliberately destroyed during the post-medieval period. Dating to the medieval period, the monument reflects the religious landscape of Norfolk during the Middle Ages, when such crosses served both devotional and practical functions for travellers and local communities. The survival of even partial remains such as this contributes to understanding the distribution and character of medieval wayside monuments across the Norfolk landscape.
