IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Haigh Close, HUDDERSFIELD, HD3 2AB

Jericho is the farm in the distance, and beyond that the suburbs of Huddersfield.

Haigh Cross, a wayside cross replacing an older cross. Set close to the fence of a warehouse unit west of Crossland Road in an unparished part of Kirklees district. Grade II Listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1134307. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/338640. Milestone Society National ID: YWKL_HUD05

https://huddersfield.exposed/wiki/Haigh_Cross,_Lindley_Moor CROSLAND ROAD (West Side). Lindley Moor. Haigh Cross. Hammer-dressed monolithic pillar. One side inscribed with a coat of arms and the legend "Quamby's de Crest 1304". The other side inscribed with a coat of arms and the legend "Re-erected by T + T 1808. After being wilfully pulled down - Haigh Cross". Quarmby de Quarmby was one of the protagonists in the famous Elland feud of the C14.

This was erected in 1808 to replace an earlier cross. The inscription on this western side is: "a grouse as crest, and below "Quarmby de Quarmby Crest 1304". On the eastern side "A shield gules, three bars argent, re-erected by T.T., 1808, after being wilfully pulled down. — Haigh Cross."

See Image] for the cross and details of the inscriptions.

This monument is looking very sad at present. Despite being listed it was in danger of being damaged or moved out of the way of the commercial development behind the fence, but was saved by two Kirklees councillors. Now it is in rough waste-land with a fence so close that vit is difficult to see the inscription on the western side (see Image] and Image]). If money could be found the fence should be moved back a bit and land around the cross turned into a park.

Trig. pillar in field adjacent A643. View is looking about SE over Huddersfield. Emley Moor TV mast in Image can be seen in the distance.

This is opposite Haigh Cross. The footpath runs in a narrow strip between stone walls.

The top of the cross can be seen above an outbuilding, looking rather like a chimney.

This is a 19C replacement for a 14C wayside cross, and is inscribed on the E face, below the Thornhill Arms, 'Re-erected / by / T T / 1808 / After Being / wilfully / pulled down / Haigh Cross'. On the W face is a Cornish Chough in a rectangular panel and below it 'Quarmbys / de / Quarmby / Crest / 1304. T.T. was Thomas Thornhill.
