Stone cross in the cemetery (cad. A 1109): classification by order of 3 November 1969
Origin and history
The stone cross of Servins is a historical monument located in the cemetery of this commune of Pas-de-Calais, in the Hauts-de-France. Dating from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, it was classified by ministerial decree on 3 November 1969. This classification refers specifically to the stone cross, located on the cadastral plot A 1109. Today it belongs to the municipality of Servins, whose Insee code is 62793.
The cemetery crosses, like the one of Servins, were central elements in French villages in modern times. They served as both a religious landmark, a gathering place for funeral ceremonies, and a symbol of the Christian presence in the community. Their stone construction often reflected the importance attached to these monuments, which also marked the public and sacred space.
The location of this cross is documented with an accuracy considered fair (note of 5/10), and its exact address is indicated as 2 Rue de Bouvigny in Servins. Although the practical information on visits is not detailed in the available sources, its status as a historic monument guarantees its preservation and its heritage interest. The data are mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, without reference to other complementary sources.
