Percy Cross


Percy Cross was erected to commemorate the Battle of Otterburn, 1388. It was erected on this site in 1777, incorporating the earlier medieval cross base. The shaft is said to have been made from the old kitchen lintel at Otterburn Tower.[1] Percy Cross is located in a small tree plantation just off the A696, to the north-west of Otterburn, close to the site of the battlefield. The monument is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
