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.

Pastscape says that the site may originally have been a Saxon or Danish settlement, then the site of turret 70a on Hadrian's Wall, then a Norman motte, finally being replaced by the church in the 12th century.

Edenhall Cross (Langwathby)
Date Added: 21st May 2024
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 28th Mar 2024
Edenhall Cross (Langwathby) submitted by Anne T on 6th Apr 2018. First view of the cross from the lane leading from Edenhall village to St. Cuthbert's Church. The River Eden runs 250 metres east of the cross. St. Cuthbert's church is 230m south east of the cross. The base looks very old, whereas the cross and shaft and head look as if they have been newly made, even though they were placed here in the 19th century.
