The Horwick Cross
This cross is on the outskirts of Penwortham at Horwick Cross.  If you look at the name of the lanes at here there is the suggestion that moorland starts at this point.
The cross is recent, but the pedestal is medieval. It is sited at the junction of the main Preston/Liverpool road with Horwick Moor Lane.
