White Nancy, Bollington
Image: © Chris Morgan Taken: 23 May 2016
Erected in 1817 by the Gaskell family, to commemorate the victory at Waterloo. Nancy may have been the name of a Gaskell daughter, or the name of a horse that hauled materials to the summit. White is obvious today, but it wasn't painted until after 1925.
