Description
The Medieval Wayside Cross, suggested to be the Molescroft Cross, is a Grade II listed structure made of well-dressed magnesium limestone. The base of the cross measures just over 1 meter square and features a chamfered top.
The exterior includes the stump of the cross shaft, which is approximately 0.5 meters square and stands about 0.5 meters tall. To the northeast, there is a nearly 1-meter-long section of cross shaft with chamfered sides and plain stops at one end. Both ends of this section are broken; the break at the end with the stops appears to match the stump in the cross base, while the other broken end corresponds to another section of shaft located just to the north, across the driveway. This additional section of shaft is about 1.5 meters long and tapers slightly, ending with an enlarged block measuring just over 0.5 meters square. Downhill from this, there is a square, shallow pyramidal capstone.
