Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Site of Holden Cross. The corner of the field above Leys Farm was once the site of the ancient Holden Cross. It is believed that this was one of a line of crosses marking the way from Manchester to Whalley Abbey. The photo looks south and on the moors in the background was sited another cross, Holcombe Pilgrims Cross 238469 on the same route. Many years ago Holden Cross shaft disappeared and only the socketed base remained. About 1915 the base was moved by Major Halstead M.P., Mayor of Haslingden, and now leans against the clock tower in Victoria Park, Haslingden. 482253
