Following recent trimming of the roadside hedges, scrub and trees, the old cross which is believed to date back to medieval times, is quite prominent on the roadside, on the left as you progress from Tadcaster on Toulston Lane towards Bramham. It really is great to see something like this, without too much in the way of vandalism afflicting it, just some fairly light scratchings from some people keen to leave their initials for no-one to wonder who they were!
The cross is listed and the following is the listing reference:
BRAMHAM CUM OGLETHORPE YORK LANE
SE44SW
Remains of cross at SE443426
Grade II
Remains of cross. Probably late medieval. Magnesian limestone. Base approx.
1 metre square and 1/2 metre high, the upper part brought to an octagon by broad
chamfers, the remaining corners of the lower part raised as if for finials or
short pinnacles. In the centre of the base, a stump of the shaft, octagonal,
with chamfer stops at the bottom of the diagonal sides.
