Ancient Cross in Yorkshire (West)
All Saints church, Bingley, stands on the site of a Roman fort and later a Saxon site. The base or pedestal of an Anglo-Saxon cross, dating from the 8th century, stands within. It is also described as a runic stone bearing three lines of runes. - now faint and undeciferable
The stone is thought to commemorate King Eadberht of Northumbria who died in 768 CE. He reigned as king from c738-758 CE. Some historians considered it to have been part of a Saxon font.
