In 1290 Eleanor of Castile, the beloved wife of Edward I and mother of his 14 children, died at Harby in Nottinghamshire. The places where her body rested during the journey south to its tomb in Westminster Abbey were marked by stone crosses. The stately triangular Geddington cross, with its canopied statues surmounted by a slender hexagonal pinnacle, is the best-preserved of only three intact survivors. Other crosses stand at Hardingstone on the southern edge of Northampton, and at Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire. The first queen of Edward I would perhaps have been completely forgotten, had it not been for her husband’s dramatic memorials. Bridge Street, Geddington, Northamptonshire, NN14 1AH
