• Restoring Cronton cross

This medieval cross may have been a stopping off place or weeping stone similar to others in the borough. The funeral procession probably stopped here to rest on route to Farnworth Chapel.

In 1906 Henry Taylor described the cross as a pedestal on three flights of steps. The cross head was already missing at this time.
