If you are in the area (Yorkshire Wolds) it's worth a detour to see. About 4000 yes old and impressively big. There is a Roman sarcophagus nearby in the churchyard. The church contains a really good set of history boards.

This monolith is massive. Well worth the trip to this sleepy area of Yorkshire. Tallest monolith in the UK and it took me a while to really appreciate the size. On approaching the site after parking nearby, you are greeted with this vertical expanse of grey stone which appears to be taller than the adjacent church from some aspects. It appears out of place whilst entirely at home dominating it's long held position all at the same time. An absolute gem that has stood long before the church grounds which now surround it. Quite the juxtaposition and great to have set eyes on.

Largest standing stone in the country - 26 feet - in an Anglican churchyard! If you can't beat them join them. The church was built in an existing ancient sacred landscape. A must see if you have any interest in prehistory, impressive if you haven't.

Historical site, situated in church yard. Some very historic and interesting grave stones also on the site.

A truly monolithic experience.... An enduring tribute to neolithic rock-pulling power. A round rolling stone would have made life easier for them. Not sure about the dinosaur footprint in the monolith though. That looks like wishful thinking.

It's basically a huge Neolithic stone so don't expect Alton Towers but personally I found it very interesting and so did my kids. There's also a Roman sarcophagus in the graveyard. Nice for a short excursion if you are in the area.

Definitely worth a visit, don’t forget to take a look at the Roman sarcophagus! Definitely a cool place to see if you like your history 👍

Incredible monument from Neolithic (?) period. Probably moved from Scarborough area. It's worth visiting as it shows that people even in really ancient times had ideas and inventions that helped them moved such massive stones to areas they saw as important (probably even cult).

A fascinating oddity from the past where human sacrifice, dinosaur footprint and Devil’s Arrows are alleged. Believed to extend as deep below the surface as it reaches above, it’s an impressive and interesting megalith. Be sure to visit the grave of Alistair Thompson whilst you’re there.

Wow! An old Church and even older monolith. It was awe inspiring. Gave much for reflection and peace.

Special place I often visit to experience the place and the quiet calm. As well as the monolith, there is also an 'outer stone' and a damaged Roman sarcophagus

Very interesting. Worth stopping if in the area. Very limited parking however.

This amazing Monolith stands in this quiet churchyard, leaving you with many questions and few answers as to it's original use and meaning .

I found this place literally awesome. Amazing to stand right next to this stone and look up and see the mass of it towering over you. It makes me wonder how much is below the ground, and how big this thing really is. Wikipedia says that it's the tallest in the UK, and the nearest source of the stone type is ten miles away. It may have been brought to the area naturally as a glacial erratic. The church itself is lovely too, Norman originally, and very peaceful inside.

Gosh, this is worth going to see, innocuously tucked away in the seemingly juxtaposed site of All Saints churchyard. Not what you would expect to find. A Neolithic monolith standing at 26ft, making it the tallest standing stone in Great Britain. Said to have originated from the Cleveland Hills, west of Whitby over 2000 BC. It is awesome and impressive, standing with its protective cap on, like some old Norse warrior of old. Just close by in the same corner are 3 other noteworthy pieces of history, including a Roman sarcophagus. The Church has an information board with map and a more detailed exhibition within. Very interesting site all told, highly recommended.

Nice scenic historic church lovely views nice for a walk round..make sure to look on the map so you don't miss things

Well kept church garden and graveyard with a special twist. Monolith standing in the church yard been their for a few years. Very unusual. Nice village with plenty of walks around. Local campsite just down the road and near to Bridlington and other east coast towns etc.

The Monolith is situated in among the graves at Rudston Church. It is believed to be Neolithic / early Bronze Age circa 2000bc. It's an imposing site close up.
