Visit Notes

Sunday, 9th June 2002

When you visit an area with around ten crosses marked on the OS you don't expect to see one that isn't marked, but that is the case with this one.

After entering the village of Fore you reach a junction and in the triangular piece of ground in the middle is this very nice little wayside cross.

The obverse side is blank but the front has a very nice, yet crude, crucifixion carved in false relief upon it.
