Ancient Cross in Yorkshire (North)

St Peter's Church is located along a trackway at the eastern side of the tiny village of Rylstone, 7 miles north of Skipton, and just south of the B6265 Skipton road. Housed inside are fragments of an Anglo-Saxon cross and another curious Pre-Conquest stone.

Some carved fragments in the porch are thought to be part of an Anglo-Saxon cross, while embedded into the vestry wall a round-shaped stone decorated with cablework and circles which may be of Viking origin ?
