Dougie I appreciate your comment about no cars and it is better shown without but we all know what its like there normally....
Tonker... it was not a religeous cross at all it was merely a signpost acting as a marker to the location of the Two Stubshaws poor fields located up Wood lane.It was highly likely that those who didn`t know that thought someone was buried there..hence the flowers and on to a garden.....remember,the cross was put there in 1630 when it was nothing but fields and not even fenced off fields at that..which is almost telling you where the name stubshaw came from !!!
