Village Cross, Ackworth, Pontefract

The Village Cross in Ackworth is a fascinating historical site! It's a Grade II listed building located on Purston Lane in High Ackworth, Wakefield. The cross is believed to be of late medieval origin, featuring a sandstone octagonal base with three high steps and a stop-chamfered shaft topped with a moulded cap and a Tudor ball finial.

 

It's prominently situated near the junction with Pontefract Road and has been a notable landmark since it was first listed on March 25, 1968.
