Full description

1615.
'Stump Cross' marked on LeStrange map (NRO OA1).
Difficult to place exactly owing to late 19th century extending of park and large marking on 1615 map.
Field boundary in park seems to follow the line of the old road.
Name indicates definitely a wayside cross and not just a crossroad name.
E. Rose (NAU), 17 May 1983.
