Hunt's Cross

PLACENAME: Hunt's Cross is marked on the first edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (1851). The name may have been taken from the nearby fields and buildings called Hunt's Folly. The cross stood in Oak Lane.

The cross (Medieval) located at the historic core (listed Grade II) is thought to have been one of a series erected by the Knights Hospitallers from Woolton.
