Oy. Because you are your father`s son(And you know what I mean) I`ll be patient with you.. I didn`t want to disclose this just yet but the words on the horizontal arm should read`The Two Stubshaws` preceded by an arrow pointing up Woods lane to where the Poor fields of that name are...In other words a signpost...which was in the shape of a cross which was a very common practise in the 17th. century.as proof of that both the other two crosses were also signposts shaped as crosses.
