Dad always stopped there at the cross;I think it was in Due Respect's for a Soul in Grievous Distress. That is why I am thoughtful of it even now at Seventy Summers.Brian.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-39865928212966201452012-02-22T15:50:49.571+00:002012-02-22T15:50:49.571+00:00Does anyone know who paints the stone?Does anyone know who paints the stone?Hydonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723686770197717456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-66822571266102869852012-02-22T15:11:13.908+00:002012-02-22T15:11:13.908+00:00Information as come in and I will update tomorrow....Information as come in and I will update tomorrow... the stone is in the correct place and the death of the baby and it's mother story will be told tomorrow...Hydonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723686770197717456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-76887815932065889252012-02-22T10:28:42.962+00:002012-02-22T10:28:42.962+00:00I'd completely forgotten about that stone and ...I'd completely forgotten about that stone and the history behind it. When we were young it was usual on a fine Sunday afternoon to walk over Lord Derby T(no houses then, just prefabs)and come out on Werneth Low Road near the stone. My mother never failed to announce at that point that there had been a murder there, though I don't recall any mention of a child's death. I've always thought the murder took place where the stone is.Wermeth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-72500502395637235842012-02-22T08:59:21.477+00:002012-02-22T08:59:21.477+00:00Hi Nancy..

I thought of the quarry which is further down the the road... past the Queens tree and heading towards Low Top.. there's a Quarry and a pond in the same field 'Plot 480' on the Tithe Map.. <br />I suppose there were many small disused quarries around there.. some too small to show up on the maps... <br />and some of the ponds are now dried up and very hard to find..... The pond behind this marker tends to dry up at times but it's a favourite place for a certain Grey Heron I've seen there many times.<br />One thing is for sure that spot was deemed important enough for some one to mark it by carving the cross.... and then again another thought so by painting it white years later.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.com
