Irton Cross
Date Added: 4th Aug 2018
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Would like to visit
Irton Cross submitted by Thorgrim on 27th Mar 2004. In the churchyard at Irton is the ancient Irton Cross, which stands 10 feet high and was erected in the early 9th Century, before the Viking invasions. Pevsner declares that this is one of the most important crosses in Cumbria, and unlike the one at Gosforth, bears no figures either human or animal. It contains vine scrolls and rosettes of Irish origin.

Edenhall Cross (Langwathby)
Date Added: 9th Aug 2018
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Would like to visit
Edenhall Cross (Langwathby) submitted by Anne T on 6th Apr 2018. First view of the cross from the lane leading from Edenhall village to St. Cuthbert's Church. The River Eden runs 250 metres east of the cross. St. Cuthbert's church is 230m south east of the cross. The base looks very old, whereas the cross and shaft and head look as if they have been newly made, even though they were placed here in the 19th century.

Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.

Holy Well (Lanhydrock)
Date Added: 22nd Aug 2018
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Would like to visit
Holy Well (Lanhydrock) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 17th Oct 2006. The wellhouse is probably Victorian but the spring is shown on the Lanhydrock Land Atlas of 1695.
Lanhydrock, by definition, means the site of somebody called Hydroc. Since 1478 it has been widely thought that the little understood Sanctus Ydroc (St Hydroc) was the patron saint of the present 15th century church. Antiquarians have indicated that an earlier church or chapel once stood on the site and perhaps forms part of the present structure. Until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 153...
