Description

One of two stone crosses at St Andrews. Historians have clashed over their date. Some claim they are Anglo Saxon and date from the 780s. Others believe they show Hiberno-Norse (Irish viking) influence and date from the 10th century, when their was an influx of norse settlement in the Tees valley area. -
