Date Added: 5th Nov 2022
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Tyne and Wear)
Visited: Yes on 31st Oct 2022. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Great North Museum (Anglo Saxon Stones) submitted by Anne T on 11th May 2018. This is the front of the Rothbury Cross head, described as one of the finest pieces of Anglo-Saxon sculpture from the Kingdom of Northumbria. It is carved with scenes of the crucifixion and other motifs. The museum sign says it was made about 100 years after the Lindisfarne Gospels but "clearly belongs to the same artistic tradition." From the collection of the Society of Antiquities of Newcastle upon Tyne. Submitted with the kind permission of the Great North Museum.

Log Text: Delightful stone in a stunning cathedral. Had to ask at the informational desk if I could see it due to a flower show but the staff are friendly and all too eager to show it to visitors. There's still a lot of mystery surrounding it apparently, and it's not the only stone of it's age in the church - there's a piece of anglo-saxon knotwork built into one of the columns near another informational sign in the south transept.

Boskenna Crosses
Date Added: 18th Sep 2022
Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Would like to visit
Boskenna Crosses submitted by cazzyjane on 18th Jun 2012. Boskenna Cross 2. SW4195 2418. Found beside a footpath one field north west of Boskenna Gate Cross.
Only the cross head is ancient and has a broad- limbed cross on it which is very difficult to make out. It leans against the hedge and is often lost behind the brambles and foliage. Unfortunately there is also a lot of rubble around its base.
