  • I am grateful to Sr Christina Kenworthy-Browne for sharing her thoughts on why the cross has been dated to the nineteenth century. Altar and processional crosses in the late medieval style were produced in large numbers during the Gothic Revival for Catholic worship, a notable workshop being that of Hardman; see M. J. Fisher, Hardman of Birmingham: Goldsmith and Glasspainter (Ashbourne, 2008).
