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:
“I know we’re not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don’t know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don’t care that we don’t.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
