Description
Young Ralph Cross is a wayside cross, possibly dating from the 11th century, made of hard gritstone. It features a large, roughly-shaped base and stands about 10 feet tall. The lower part of the cross displays much-weathered interlace ornamentation and a cable-moulded border. The cross has been restored, which includes the addition of a new head, possibly from the 18th century, that has a nicked top, and it has been cemented into its socket.
