Wetheral cross and village green
-
Description
"The steps to the cross were originally in the centre of the green, forming the base to a wooden maypole erected in 1814 by Henry Howard of Corby Castle. The steps were moved to the present location, and the maypole replaced by the stone cross, around 1844. Information taken from English Heritage listed building description http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1323117 , which also points out "This is not a market cross as Wetheral was not a market town"."
