Medieval cross returned home to Royal Chapel

A medieval cross dating back to the 10th century has returned to the Royal Chapel of St John's.

The early medieval monument, known as Osruth's Cross, has been reinstalled in a new, secure setting within the church after becoming loose in 2019.

To protect the monument, the cross was carefully removed and conserved, and after several years it has now been returned to St John's.

Manx National Heritage says the cross is a significant example of the Island's rich Norse heritage and remains an object of outstanding archaeological value.
