Battle Cross, Boroughbridge

The Battle Cross is a historic monument in Aldborough, North Yorkshire in England.

The 18-foot high cross was erected to commemorate the Battle of Boroughbridge, which took place in 1322.

In 1852, it was moved to the nearby village of Aldborough, in front of St Andrew's Church.

[1][2][3] The cross consists of four diagonal shafts with spurs between, in three diminishing stages, with moulded capitals.

The top parts have been damaged, and Nikolaus Pevsner describes them as having been "reassembled with dubious accuracy".
