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:
“Men are not to be told anything they might find too painful; the secret depths of human nature, the sordid physicalities, might overwhelm or damage them. For instance, men often faint at the sight of their own blood, to which they are not accustomed. For this reason you should never stand behind one in the line at the Red Cross donor clinic.”
—Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
