On one side of the Malo Cross, you will find initials K, R and E of Sir Richard Egerton, who had this cross put up in 1619 to mark the boundary of his manor in the Allerston parish. Located in a truly beautiful spot, beneath the escarpment of Whinny Nab and in the vicinity of Blakey Topping.

Lichen has settled in the lower part of the shaft, but the engraved inscription in the crossbeam and upper part of the longitudinal beam is still easy to read.
