Haxey (3) Greenhill Cross

Haxey (3) Greenhill Cross

Greenhill cross is now somewhat hidden away on a much reduced green at the junction of Greenhill Road, High Street and Church Street. It has also (confusingly) been known as the Mowbray Cross (The Mowbrays were the medieval lords of Haxey manor). It shares its grassy mound (all that remains of the green, now a traffic island) with several trees which pretty much obscure it.

Weston’s second cross is possibly the remains of a wayside cross that was found at Beggar’s Bush crossroads in August 1895. A brief report in the Stamford Mercury of 23 August 1895 states: ‘the base of the old parish cross has been unearthed at Weston, on the road leading to St John’s. It is an interesting relic of bygone days.’
