The Eleanor crosses were a series of twelve stone monuments topped with tall crosses, erected between 1291 and 1294 by King Edward I in memory of his wife Eleanor of Castile, they mark the nightly resting-places along the route when her body was transported from Lincoln to London. This one is in the village of Geddington near Kettering in Northamptonshire. You don't find many people wandering around photographing it at 7am on their way to work!
This Eleanor Cross is lovely, it's so complete - having just looked it up, the most complete and best preserved of the three original crosses surviving. I grew up knowing about these crosses as I used to live near the plaque marking the site, dubiously, of a cross at Stony Stratford and drive past the intact cross outside Delapre Abbey in Northampton regularly (second surviving cross). Where I am now, I know the Waltham Cross, the last of the three original complete crosses, albeit restored, but that one is sad because it is netted against pigeons. There is a massive cross at Charing Cross which is a larger Victorian replacement which isn't even in the right place! Charing Cross and Waltham Cross were named after the crosses.
And I particularly like the "things365makesyoudo!" tag :)
