St Gregory's Cross

This is a standing cross and found in the churchyard of St Gregory's church in Cropton.

The brass plaque seen in the picture states it was restored in the 18th century. This pre-dates the current church and suggests an earlier medieval church on or near this site.

The crosses were used as gathering points for processions or sermons, not many remain following the Reformation and this one has done well to survive, albeit incomplete.
