Let there be light

Ana Cross (Ain Howe Cross) stands proudly on Spaunton Moor in the North Yorkshire Moor National Park, England

 

It is described as a Waymarker cross. Early C19. Diagonally-tooled gritstone. Square section cross on a rectangular base

 

The original top of Ain Howe Cross, or Ana Cross as it is usually called today, is in the crypt of Lastingham church. Several years ago the cross was repaired and today it stands proud and prominent on Spaunton Moor between Rosedale and Lastingham and is the tallest cross on the moors.
