Anne T visited on 25th Mar 2015 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Anglo Saxon Crosses, All Saints, Otley: Having been to Leeds in the morning, we decided to make the rest of the day one of exploration (the first one for a long time!), so made our way back to the north-east via Otley, Weston and Weston Moor. Coming down into Otley from the A660 from Leeds, All Saints is clearly visible in the town centre. We managed to park right outside the church on Burras Lane. Whilst the crosses are well worth seeing, the display of crosses in the church is a little disappointing - on the day we visited they were surrounded by stacked chairs, music stands, speakers and other things, making them seem unimportant.
Right next to the impressive tomb, there are good display boards describing what you are looking at (although no guide book that we could find).
In the churchyard, we found what looked like part of another Anglo Saxon cross shaft in the north-west corner, piled with other architectural pieces. There is an amazing old yew tree with branches touching the ground in places. Nice coffee shops in the vicinity.
