CHATBURN

 

                                            

 

 

Location: The memorial stands in front of the church

 

OS ref: 103  SD 760 440

The photo shows the rear of the memorial (due to the direction of the sun at the time of my visit). The front of the cross is decorated with celtic designs. I plan to revisit the village at a different time of day.
