Downholland Cross is a small village in the county of Lancashire on the West Lancashire Coastal Plain. It is to the north of Lydiate on the A5147 and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
The Downholland cross was reinstated by the Parish Council on the suggestion by Stephen Henders to mark the millennium. Stephen was at the time a parish councillor and Andrew Johnson was the chairman who supported the idea.
Famous quotes containing the word cross:
“When the cross blue lightning seemed to open
The breast of heaven, I did present myself
Even in the aim and very flash of it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
