Description
White Cross is an early to mid 19th century boundary stone that sits on a medieval base of a wayside cross. The stone features a roughly-dressed sandstone shaft, measuring approximately 35 centimeters by 28 centimeters and standing 79 centimeters high, which is mounted on a square limestone base that is about 58 centimeters by 64 centimeters and 38 centimeters high. The shaft is inscribed with a cross on the north and south sides, while the plinth has the inscription 'WHITE CROSS' above a benchmark on the east face. The upper portion of the original cross is now housed in Whitby Museum. This stone originally marked the junction of the Old West Road, which runs between Guisborough and Whitby, and the track to Commondale, and it is located on the boundaries between the parishes of Lockwood and Danby, as well as the counties of Cleveland and North Yorkshire.
