TREFORDA CROSS?

ALSO KNOWN AS THE RECTORY CROSS HEAD

MacLean's Author's own Blight

Treforda Cross?

On the 1843 Tithe Map there is a field called Treforda Cross, opposite the field is another field called higher cross park beside a field called Homer Cross Park this might suggest the possibility of another stone cross. The Treforda cross field is the only field near a 'T' junction.

Is the rectory cross head all that remains of Treforda cross?

There are no known records of the Rectory Cross head, where it came from, who moved it and when.

Blight in 1858 probably made the first recorded sketch and suggested the cross was moved to the centre of the rectory pond for preservation.

Macleans states in 1877 that it ended up on top of the Saxon cross. It was put there by the Reverent Wilkinson

In 1888 Reverent James Robert Roe removed it to the church yard as a separate entity.
