SJ 9561 6922. Wayside cross 500m N of Sutton End Farm. Scheduled RSM No 25634. A medieval wayside standing cross in situ and known locally as the Cross o' the Moor or the Queensway Cross. It stands 1.74m high and consists of a freestone block set upright with a cross cut in relief on the W and E faces. The block is 0.28m thick at the base, tapering to 0.12m at the top. The E face has the date 1887 cut into the stone which is a later addition and may be a surveyor's mark. This face has also been cut with an old OS bench mark on the left side near the ground. The cross can be dated to the early medieval period from its style. (7)
Description of the cross which is called the Greenway Cross. (8)
According to this source, the cross is described as the 'Greenway Cross or Cross o' th' Moor'. (9)
According to the HER officer, the cross should be called the 'Greenway Cross', not 'Queensway Cross' and that the latter was probably an error made in the scheduled monument description. (10)
The entry 'Queensway Cross' in the scheduled monument description has been changed to 'Greenway Cross' as part of the Minor Amendment procedure by the English Heritage Designation Department. It was changed on 18th August 2011. (11)
