The Katherine cross is a memorial to Katherine of Aragon, first wife of Henry VIII. It stands in the grounds of Ampthill Park, Bedfordshire, England, on the site of a since demolished castle, Ampthill Castle, in which Katherine was confined in 1533. Raised by John FitzPatrick, 2nd Earl of Upper Ossory, then owner of the Ampthill estate, in 1773, it carries an inscription by Horace Walpole. It is a Grade II listed structure.
