Description

NU 2415 18/151

LONGHOUGHTON LONGHOUGHTON VILLAGE (West side)

Cross 25 metres north-west of south gate to churchyard

GV II

Free-standing cross, perhaps Pre-Conquest or early medieval. Cut sandstone. Rectangular slab narrowing at the top to a cross with rounded armpits and a tapered 'hammerhead' top; overall height 1.05 metres. Probably a sepulchral monument rather than a churchyard cross; a very similar cross (see reference below), now lost, was found at Gateshead in 1908.
