Celtic Cross
Flickr Lounge ~ Interesting
The oldest and most striking feature of Eyam churchyard is the eighth-century Celtic cross. One of the best preserved examples in the country, it is decorated with a mixture of Christian and pagan symbols. It may have originally been a wayside preaching cross.
Eyam (pronounced Ee'm) is known as the Plague Village. For information on its very interesting history see here.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
