What is recorded here
White Cross is a medieval stone cross standing at the junction of the roads to Castleton and Commondale in North Yorkshire. It marked a busy crossing where travellers chose between two valleys, giving them a visible point for direction, prayer or assembly. Rain, wind and human hands have changed its surface, but it still performs its old job: stopping motion for a moment and making the choice of route clear.
The National Heritage List for England records White Cross wayside cross at the junction of the roads to Castleton and Commondale as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
