Dorrington

Dorrington village cross was located on the village green adjacent to the village pump when mapped by the O.S. in 1888. Trollope says part of this green was known as ‘Play Garth’ and it also had a ‘remarkable oak. When we visited in June 2006 the cross was enclosed in the rose garden of No. 73 Main Street and inaccessible. By 2019, the bungalow had been demolished and a small development of new houses was in progress. The cross is now set apart from the adjacent houses (closest to No. 75) in a small enclosed and gravelled area.
