Blackwell Cross
Blackwell Cross submitted by ocifant : The sign on the wall reads: "This Saxon cross is sculptured with spiral knots and Stafford-knots, interwoven with extra cords and bands. Similar crosses are to be found at Eyam, Taddington and Norbury. One authority dates the cross about 650ad." (Vote or comment on this photo)
