Feature |
| Originally it was a large stone in the form of a man and was
known as 'The Stone Man'. A wooden cross was erected on the top of
the stone pillar to commemorate 'The Peace of Paris', the date on
the back is 1885 and the initials DD and TB which are carved on it
signify the Duke of Devonshire and T. Broughton, who was land agent
to the Duke. The wooden structure has been renewed several times,
the last occasion being after the severe winter of 1947. The present
cross was rebuilt in 1997. |
