Description
The stump of a churchyard cross is located approximately 20 metres south of the Church of St Gregory in Cropton. This medieval stone structure consists of a chamfered shaft with broach stops, standing about 0.8 metres high, and is set on a circular base that is approximately 0.3 metres high. Originally, the cross featured a cup at the top of the shaft where it was customary to leave a coin for needy travellers. This practice inspired a rhyme that reflects the local tradition.
