Woodhey Cross is a late medieval stone cross, probably dating from the early 16th century, located near Faddiley in Cheshire, England. The structure is grade II* listed and is also a scheduled ancient monument. It stands at SJ57735263, at the junction of Woodhey Lane and Woodhey Hall Lane, around 500 m to the east of Woodhey Chapel.
The cross is constructed of red sandstone and stands around 130 cm high. It consists of a square shaft inserted into a large square base block, which rests on two levels of steps; the steps are formed of several stone pieces. No carving or inscription can be discerned.
Famous quotes containing the word cross:
“It is an agreeable change to cross a lake, after you have been shut up in the woods, not only on account of the greater expanse of water, but also of sky. It is one of the surprises which Nature has in store for the traveler in the forest. To look down, in this case, over eighteen miles of water, was liberating and civilizing even.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
