Description
The Saxon cross shaft, dating from the 8th to 9th century, is located approximately 10 metres south of the Church of Saint Oswald's in West Hauxwell. The shaft stands about 2 metres high and is set on a plain base. It features Anglo-Danish design elements, including a knot pattern on the east side and a panel intended for an inscription, which reads "Crux Sci Gacobi." This inscription is traditionally believed to commemorate Saint James the Deacon, who is said to have founded the church around 690 AD, as noted in display materials in the church porch. The cross shaft is also scheduled as an Ancient Monument.
