| STONE CROSS [Ormiston] | Ormiston Cross Ormiston Cross |
Hugh Brown John Barin |
014 | [Situation] Near the centre of the Village of Ormiston An ancient cross in the village of Ormiston. Its height from the ground is about 15 feet. "There is an old cross in the centre of the village. It seems to have been connected with a Roman Catholic chapel, which about the beginning of the last century, stood where the cross now is, extending across the street from N. W. [North West] to S.E. [South East] That chapel was then used as a school house and one of the oldest inhabitants, now dead told me he was educated there." See Stat Acct [Statistical Account] 1841. |

immediately on the north side of the place where a stone cross at present
stands, near the centre of the village, but whether it was a chapel, a nunnery

ho could give any information concerning this regions house."
