Ryton Cross, Village Green
-
Description
"There is supposed to have been a cross, perhaps originally a market cross, on Ryton village green before the erection of a new one in 1795. This was designed and sculpted by local mason Thomas Chaucer. It is located on the site where John Wesley preached on the village green. This was itself replaced by a modern pillar and cross in 1951. The original cross from the top of the monument currently stands in the grounds of Tynedale House [[2221946]] http://www.pastscape.org/hob.aspx?hob_id=22981 The view is towards [[2219002]] and the church.
