A pre-Conquest cross in St Bartholomew's Churchyard, Sproxton, described as Anglo-Scandinavian, and dated to the 10th to early 11th century.
"A complete Anglo Scandinavian Cross in St Bartholomew's Churchyard, Sproxton, Leics. This cross is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1014512 and recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 1053755. Pastscape tells us: "The cross is probably 10th to early 11th century in date and takes the form of a base, comprising a stone slab and a socket stone, and a shaft and cross head". Historic England places the cross approximately 7m to the south east of the south porch.
The Journal of Antiquities also includes an entry for this cross - see their page for The Sproxton Cross, Leicestershire, which gives directions for finding the cross together with a drawing of the sides and base of the cross by John Nicols (1794). The Journal also includes reference sources and adds: " In the south-west wall there is an interesting stone with zig-zag moulding. This is thought to date from the 11th-12th century"."
