Percy Cross, Medieval memorial stone in Otterburn, England.
Percy Cross is a medieval memorial stone in Otterburn featuring a square stepped base made of sandstone. The structure stands about one meter tall and measures roughly two meters across, positioned near the A696 road.
The stone was built before 1400 to commemorate the Battle of Otterburn in 1388, when English and Scottish forces clashed. The memorial preserves the memory of this significant conflict in the region's past.
The monument takes its name from Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, reflecting the power of this family in medieval England. It stands as a visible reminder of their historical importance in the area.
The memorial is located beside the A696 road, roughly one kilometer from Otterburn's center and easy to reach. The spot is accessible and offers a good view of the surrounding area.
The structure includes an old fireplace frame from Otterburn Hall's kitchen, weaving local architectural history into the memorial. This recovered element shows how historical materials were preserved and reused.
