To some it may look like a cross but to the natives of Australia it is a map to a watering hole with animals coming from all directions to feed.

A standing cross is a free standing upright structure, usually of stone, mostly erected during the medieval period (mid 10th to mid 16th centuries AD). Standing crosses served a variety of functions. In churchyards they served as stations for outdoor processions, particularly in the observance of Palm Sunday. Elsewhere, standing crosses were used within settlements as places for preaching, public proclamation and penance, as well as defining rights of sanctuary. Standing crosses were also employed to mark boundaries between parishes, property, or settlements. A few crosses were erected to commemorate battles. Some crosses were linked to particular saints, whose support and protection their presence would have helped to invoke. Crosses in market places may have helped to validate transactions. After the Reformation, some crosses continued in use as foci for municipal or borough ceremonies, for example as places for official proclamations and announcements; some were the scenes of games or recreational activity. Standing crosses were distributed throughout England and are thought to have numbered in excess of 12,000. However, their survival since the Reformation has been variable, being much affected by local conditions, attitudes and religious sentiment. In particular, many cross-heads were destroyed by iconoclasts during the 16th and 17th centuries. Less than 2,000 medieval standing crosses, with or without cross-heads, are now thought to exist. The oldest and most basic form of standing cross is the monolith, a stone shaft often set directly in the ground without a base. The most common form is the stepped cross, in which the shaft is set in a socket stone and raised upon a flight of steps; this type of cross remained current from the 11th to 12th centuries until after the Reformation. Where the cross-head survives it may take a variety of forms, from a lantern-like structure to a crucifix; the more elaborate examples date from the 15th century. Much less common than stepped crosses are spire-shaped crosses, often composed of three or four receding stages with elaborate architectural decoration and/or sculptured figures; the most famous of these include the Eleanor crosses, erected by Edward I at the stopping places of the funeral cortege of his wife, who died in 1290. Also uncommon are the preaching crosses which were built in public places from the 13th century, typically in the cemeteries of religious communities and cathedrals, market places and wide thoroughfares; they include a stepped base, buttresses supporting a vaulted canopy, in turn carrying either a shaft and head or a pinnacled spire. Standing crosses contribute significantly to our understanding of medieval customs, both secular and religious, and to our knowledge of medieval parishes and settlement patterns. All crosses which survive as standing monuments, especially those which stand in or near their original location, are considered worthy of protection.
Although the shaft and head are missing from the standing cross in All Saints' churchyard, the monument is reasonably well-preserved and is important for being in its original location.
The Ruthwell Cross is an Anglo-Saxon stone cross in the style of an Irish high cross. It possibly dates from the 8th century, when Ruthwell was part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria due to the conquests of the Christian king Eadberht (737-758).
The cross is 5.50 metres high and is the most elaborate Anglo-Saxon monumental sculpture. It may contain the oldest surviving text, older than any manuscript of Old English poetry. It bears a Latin and a runic inscription. The runic inscription, which was probably added later, contains lines from the Old English poem "The Dream of the Rood".
It may have stood in a church, but it is more likely that it was erected in the open air. It could have been a preaching cross to help the priests spread the Christian gospel. Reading and writing were not yet widespread at this time, so the carvings would have been a useful tool for teaching and preaching.
A Church of Scotland act against ‘idolatrous monuments’ named the Ruthwell Cross in about 1642. The local minister reluctantly destroyed it, but seems to have taken care in doing so. The pieces were left out in the churchyard. By 1823, Henry Duncan had collected all the pieces he could find, and put them together, commissioning a new crossbeam (the original was lost), and having gaps filled in with small pieces of stone.
The cross was returned to the church in 1887, in a purpose-built apse, where it still stands today.

Trier, which stands on the Moselle River, was a Roman colony from the 1st century AD and then a great trading centre beginning in the next century. It became one of the capitals of the Tetrarchy at the end of the 3rd century, when it was known as the ‘second Rome’. The number and quality of the surviving monuments are an outstanding testimony to Roman civilization."
