Wayside cross and boundary marker. Medieval socket stone and C18 boundary stone. Hollowed rectangular socket stone. Boundary stone with initial 'C' inscribed on east face replaces cross shaft and is now recumbent. John Cross was located between a bog and a steep slope, and was one of a series of waymarkers on the old road from Whitby to Pickering via Red Gate and May Beck. Possibly named after John de Steyngrave, Abbot of Whitby 1245-1258.
