It was Founded by King Harold Anno 1065, who endowed it with large Revenues, for a Dean & Eleven Secular Black Canons, & dedicated it to the honour of a Holy Cross (from whence the Town has derived that addition to its Name) which according to a Monkish Tradition, was found far Westward form this place & brought hither, and was look’d upon in those superstitious Times as a great Miracle.
