Queen Eleanor Cross
Historical place Queen Eleanor Cross was erected in 1291-1294 it's one of the three left of 12 that were erected by King Edward I.It is centuries old and when you go to see it up close you will see how the stone that was built it's losing the edges and there is lots of writing around it probably just as old,so I think it's really precious and special. What a job it still standing gloriously after nearly 8 centuries. Loved it !

Over 700 years of history sat by the roadside, the story behind the cross is beautiful, but now it finds itself in this strange situation where it appears dumped at the roadside. That said, thank goodness someone has appreciated its historic importance leading to its preserved condition we find it in today.

A historical marker next to a main road route. Easy to get to by bus.Near to Delape Abby.I presume there's toilets at Delape Abbey, failing that a nearby Abbey.About a mile from Northampton Town centre.

Superb monument of national significance. It is currently being conserved to retain vulnerable historic fabric.

A beautiful hidden park in front of it on the other side of the road. It took me 10 years in Northampton to discover it. The monument is beheaded. I would like to know the name of the majestic tree facing it. Not many trees have purple leaves in May. Leaves are simple, elliptic, undulate margins... Copper beech is her name. In France the edible nut or masts are still sometimes roasted and used as a coffee substitute.

Look out for the fascinating inscription plate detaining the history of the site. We viewed by parking at Delapre Abbey and walking . The monument is on a main road and currently surrounded by security fencing

Tragically, this is cracked and crumbling away - so while there is still time to get a sense of this incredibly special monument, beware of pieces falling off when you visit. There is parking nearby on the roadside. Some special events and tours of the nearby Northampton battlefield site, Delapre Abbey and its grounds include this monument.

Cycling round Northampton like a yute, we took in the town's rich history. Truly Britain's greatest surprise.

Fascinating story and you would drive straight past without paying too much attention. Had to park in a residential street and take care crossing the busy road, but was our goal to visit the remaining memorials. Could do with a little more info when you get there, but happy to have visited
