OF CHESHIRE AND LANCASHIRE *37 Camden's Britannia is naturally the first authority that we turn to for information on the subject, but neither in the original edition, nor in the subsequent ones of Scale V12 natural size. Cross Shaft found during the excavation of the Barton Section of Manchester Ship Canal. Gibson and of Gough do we find any mention of the early crosses of Cheshire or Lancashire. The principal works to which the student must be referred for accounts of these monuments are as follows :— Cheshire. S. Lysons' Magna Britannia, vol. ii., pt. 2 (Cheshire), p. 459, Sandbach. J. P. Earwaker's East Cheshire, vol. i., p. 186, Cheadle; vol. ii., p. 101, Disley; p. 285, Lyme Park; p. 286, Macclesfield ; p. 345, Upton; p. 435, Clulow. J. P. Karwaker's History of Sandbach. H. Ecroyd Smith's Reliques of the Anglo-Saxon Churches of St. Bridget's and St. Hildeburga, West Kirkby, Cheshire, West Kirkby. Manchester Ship Canal, Barton section, only came to my knowledge quite recently. It is now in the Owen's College Museum, Manchester, and has not, so far as I am aware, been described.
