Wetheral Cross is a Grade II listed structure. The steps and plinth were formerly the base for a wooden maypole but the stone shaft and cross were added when the steps and plinth were moved to their present position from the centre of the village green in about 1844. There is an Ordnance Survey pivot benchmark visible on the plinth (photograph Image).
