Ana Coss (Ain Howe Cross)
At this time of year, the moor is looking desolate. The lighter patches in between the darker heather are areas where the older heather has been burnt during the winter to allow fresh young heather to re-generate and grass to grow to feed the sheep. The valley in the background is the beautiful Rosedale
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.
