The cross is a fairly recent replacement and at 12 foot high is the highest cross on the moors. Though to have been a Sanctuary Cross rather than a Wayside Cross, the original pre Norman Cross stood at 24 feet, the top of which still survives and can seen seen in the crypt of the church of St Mary, Lastingham (link to our page). Well worth a visit to this standing sentinel in the middle of the moors with brilliant views.
