Gosforth Cross
Date Added: 21st May 2024
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 9th May 2024
Gosforth Cross submitted by Thorgrim on 30th Jul 2003. Probably the finest Anglo-Scandinavian carving in the north of England, this red sandstone cross has stood for over a thousand years in the churchyard at Gosforth. Depicting Pagan scenes of Odin, Thor and Loki as well as of Christ crucified, the mixed symbolism is intriguing. Inside the church are fine Viking hog-back tombstones including one showing the famous scene of Thor fishing for the Midgard Serpent. Gosforth in Cumbria is 12 miles from Whitehaven at map ref: NY 072036.
