Description:The remains of a mediaeval stone cross on Tixall Heath, sited on the southern slopes of King's Low. It is pictured here after it was accidently smashed by a cart during tree felling around 1918. The broken shaft was excavated when King’s Low was excavated in 1990 and moved to St. John the Baptist Church in Tixall. The cross originally came from South Wales, and was set up in its present position to mark the traditional spot of the murder, in 1494, of William Chetwynd. It is not known where in South Wales it came from.
