The third cross has on the eastern side a scroll, and then 
a figure ; and similar designs on the other sides. This is 
much more worn than the others, and appears to be of 
different workmanship. 
And now in taking leave of a subject which has recalled 
to memory many pleasant associations of bygone days, I 
must gratefully acknowledge the courtesy I have experienced, 
and the assistance I have received during the preparation of 
this memoir, from R. D. Chantrell, Esq., of London, who 
kindly supplied me with an accurate drawing of the cross ; 
from Henry Denny, Esq., whose zeal in furnishing informa- 
tion, and taking casts of inscriptions has been indefatigable ; 
and whose interest secured the aid of T. W. Stansfeld, Esq., 
in procuring photographs of some of these monuments ; from 
the Rev. Thomas Allbutt, Vicar of Dewsbury, who politely 
afforded every facility for examining and taking rubbings 
from the remains in his garden ; from the Rev. John 
Snowden, Vicar of Ilkley, who kindly permitted me to 
remove the masonry which concealed a large portion of 
an interesting cross in his churchyard ; from the Rev. B. 
Eamonson, Vicar of Collingham, and his niece, Miss Metcalfe, 
who have also shewn friendly co-operation in the examination 
of the monuments in their garden ; and from F. A. Leyland, 
Esq., of Halifax, who has furnished valuable information 
relative to similar monuments in his neighbourhood.
