English: Geddington Eleanor Cross. One of the three remaining of the original 12 Eleanor crosses erected by King Edward I to mark the overnight resting places of the funeral cortege of Queen Eleanor, following her death in Harby on November 28th 1290. Some suggest that Geddington Cross is the work of a mason Garcia of Spain as it is so different to the other remaining crosses and surviving illustrations of Cheapside and Charing. It is triangular in plan and rises gracefully to a height of 42 feet. The tiers are arranged as the other crosses but it is more richly ornamented and more Decorated in style.
Having survived The Civil War unscathed, the cross was damaged in the 18th century during the Easter sport of squirrel-baiting, where the unfortunate animals were tormented by stone-throwing locals, some taking refuge in the cross. Geddington Cross is arguably the finest but certainly the most enigmatic of the three surviving crosses.
