The stately triangular Geddington cross, with its canopied statues surmounted by a slender hexagonal pinnacle, is the best-preserved of only three intact surviving 'Eleanor' crosses. The others stand at Hardingstone near Northampton, and Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire. 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 on the journey south to its tomb in Westminster Abbey were marked by stone crosses.
Not in Abbey.
