Legs Cross
Near Bolam, County Durham. "The base and fragment of a cross shaft dating from the 9th century. A rough cut rectangular sandstone base, badly worn, but is said to have featured interlacing ornament. This is probably a Legs Cross which marked the subdivision of a major Anglo-Saxon estate centered on Gainford Village." (Keys to the Past) A foundation stone for a Roman milestone used to lie next to the monument, but is no longer evident.[1] Legs Cross is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
