Welcome to High Cross

High Cross Warwickshire is a historic site located in the village of Clay Coton, near Rugby. The site is believed to have been a significant crossroads during the Roman period, and later became an important meeting place during the Anglo-Saxon era. The current structure dates back to the 14th century and is a Grade II listed monument. The cross stands at over 20 feet tall and is made of sandstone. It features intricate carvings of religious figures and scenes, including the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

The High Cross Warwickshire has played an important role in the history of the local area. It was a popular meeting place for traders and travellers during the medieval period, and was also used as a place of worship. The cross was restored in the 19th century, and again in the 20th century, to ensure its preservation for future generations. Today, the site is a popular tourist attraction and is visited by people from all over the world who come to admire its beauty and learn about its history.

In addition to its historical significance, the High Cross Warwickshire is also surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular spot for walkers and hikers. The nearby village of Clay Coton is also worth a visit, with its charming thatched cottages and traditional English pub. Whether you are interested in history, architecture, or simply enjoy exploring the great outdoors, the High Cross Warwickshire is a must-see destination.
