Summary

Description
English: Illustration of the "Newland Cross," several of which appear, fashioned out of metal, on outbuildings of the Newlands Park estate near Normanton, West Riding. Says antiquary William Stott Banks in his book 'Walks in Yorkshire: Wakefield and its neighbourhood': "The only ancient thing left (if, as I believe, they are ancient) are two or three metal crosses on the outbuildings -- the patriarchal cross -- which the Knights used as their sign of possession. The same sign is carved in stone over a doorway, and on a finial above a well in the wood, called St John's well, and elsewhere; and it appears upon the farm buildings at Woodhouse." The antiquary William Stott Banks's book "Walks in Yorkshire: Wakefield and its neighbourhood" was published by Longmans, Green, Reader, and Dyer, London, 1876. Unknown creator of woodcut accompanying the text. Initials on the woodcut are "J.E.G."
