Three fragments of a Saxon cross in St Oswalds at Guiseley. They date from the 9th century CE, and probably once formed part of a preaching cross. The cross fragments have knotwork panels. Originally they would have been lime-washed and painted in bright colours. The cross-shaft or stump, at the west end, with one of the fragments set on top is heavily damaged.
Also, of interest here a Saxon chieftain of the 7th-century called Gislic gave his name to the town. The church is grade 1 listed.
