The St Peter's Church, Addingham, Saxon cross is part of a Saxon High cross, dated to before 972 CE/AD. It was discovered buried in the churchyard of St Peter's, Addingham, West Yorkshire, England, in 1947. A notice in the church states that the carving on the front illustrates the Apocalypse. The sides are carved with scrollwork. The cross is now displayed in the nave of the church, but its back is not visible, however it is suggested that the back was once carved with vine scrolls. There is a cross base in the churchyard which has a socket which fits this cross fragment.
