The High Cross

The Cross used to be known as the High Cross, and its' existence was first recorded in 1377. It was knocked down during the Civil War, after the siege of Chester (which, incidentally was not a very good siege, it leaked like a sieve - food got in and out of the city quite easily, as long as you had money). Parts of the Cross were found hidden under the steps of the church shown in the photo in 1806, but the Cross wasn't rebuilt until 1975, and even then with some bits missing. Parts of it are still in Plas Newydd, Llangollen, and the figures from the head have never been found.
