BrownEdger visited on 1st Jun 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Visible from the road and the car park of The Cross pub across the road. A footpath enters the field where Hoften's Cross is located. The close proximity of a stable made this not one of the more scenic spots. A shame that the pub sign has a crusader knight on it rather than this rude cross!
