“The cross near Fernyhill (SJ989523) - usually known as the Butter Cross - is traditionally supposed to have been used as a place for buying and selling. It was restored at the expense of Mr William E Challinor of Pickwood Hall, a member of the old Leek family of solicitors - in 1926. The restoration was marked by a service of dedication on 15th October 1926 which was conducted by the Revd W G Burgis, and an address given by Col. W F Challinor, the local historian. Colonel Challinor included in his address the thought that the old road running beside the cross was probably the route taken by the Duke of Cumberlands army as it marched from Stone towards Leek in 1745. Certainly two old tracks which have degenerated into footpaths meet at its foot, thus marking an ancient cross roads. The mark of a cross and the letters IHM carved on the shaft suggest that the Hollins family of Mosslee had been involved in an earlier consecration at some time”.

When the Holy Father Leo XIV greeted the faithful in May 2025 – immediately after his election as Pope – his first words deeply touched not only people of the Catholic faith. Perhaps the following words from him may also be a helpful reflection for the hiker pausing before this small sacred monument:
+ "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too desire that this greeting of peace enter your hearts, reach your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally." (Leo XIV)
