Ross-0n-Wye- Plague Cross

The Plague Cross, also known as the Corpse Cross, was erected in the church yard of St. Mary's church in 1637 as a memorial to 315 people who died in the town of the plague in 1637. These people were buried nearby in a plague pit, at night and without coffins.[6] By 1896, the cross had fallen into disrepair and the top of the cross was missing. It was later restored to its former state. (Wikipedia)
