About
Geddington's Eleanor Cross commemorates one of the overnight resting places of Queen Eleanor of Castile's funeral procession in 1290. After her death near Lincoln, Edward I ordered crosses along the route taken by her body towards Westminster Abbey. This example is the best preserved of the three substantially intact survivors. Its triangular plan, canopied statues and slender upper stages reward looking carefully from different sides of the village junction. The monument remains part of an everyday streetscape, rather than standing inside a museum or enclosed visitor attraction. Reviewers enjoy combining a look at the cross with the historic church, village streets and nearby bridge. Allow time to read about the funeral journey before visiting, as the significance is easy to miss on a quick glance. Vehicles pass close to the cross, so view it from a safe position.
