Malo Cross under a threatening sky
Wednesday 15th April 2015
On a very overcast day, I met three friends from Northumberland at Saltergate car park for a walk on the Moors, taking in Malo Cross, Blakey Topping and The Bridestones. The photograph is of Malo Cross, boundary cross at the end of Saltergate Brow. According to Historic England's listing it was erected in 1619 by Sir Richard Egerton and his initials appear on the arms of the cross. The 'k' at the top of the cross relates to the fact that he was a knight.
