Medieval Cross Base, Lanercost Priory


The remaining base of the priory cross at Lanercrost Priory dates from 1214. The remainder of the shaft, with its cross head missing, was used as a gravestone in 1657. Then when the nave of the church was reroofed in the early 18th century, it was moved inside, where it can be seen in the north aisle.[1] The cross base is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England.
