Description

This is a fragment of Hyde's Cross, located approximately 20 meters south of Chetham's Hospital in Manchester. Originally situated at the junction of Fennel Street and Withy Grove, it was relocated to this site in 1913. The cross is dated 1653 at the top of the shaft and is made of sandstone. It features a two-stage octagonal base with a moulded top, while the shaft is square at the base and chamfered above. The base is intricately carved with geometrical strap-work, and the top displays the raised lettering "1653" in sunk panels. The cross is mounted on a 20th-century pedestal, which includes an inscription noting that it was "preserved to the Hospital by Professor and Mrs Wild An.Dn:1913."
