The Ruskin Cross at Coniston

Description
Detailed information leaflet by William Gershom Collingwood (PDF) with old photographs. "....That we also, careless of monument by the grave, may build in the world—monument by which men may be taught to remember, not where we died, but where we lived". For a man like him the true memorial is not any statue or shrine or house of pilgrimage, nor even the long rows of volumes with his name lettered on their backs. These things are a mockery, if he is not remembered for the fact of his influence, and the effect of his thought upon the world. Standing by his grave one cannot but think what we owe him..." -
