Limnerslease grounds - Modern Celtic Cross - from northeast
This cross in the grounds of SU9547 : Limnerslease along the Pilgrim's Way to Canterbury was created in the early C20th by the artist and designer Mary Watts in memory of her husband, the artist George Frederic Watts. On the eastern side is a depiction of Christ crucified with panels depicting pilgrims, while along the edges are various Celtic plaits and shield-knots on the cross, traditionally believed to ward off evil spirits.
