Muir, Stonyhurst, pp. 55-61, esp. p. 56: Lancashire, the "very Catholic county"</ref> in the locality. Most notably, the Lady Statue at the top of the Avenue connecting [[Stonyhurst College]] with Hurst Green.

According to tradition, Cromwell stood on this inconspicuous stone and described the mansion ahead of him as "the finest half-house in England" (the symmetry of the building was, at that time, incomplete).

It was erected in 1834 at Stockbridge. On the front is inscribed the legend, ‘WATCH FOR YOU KNOW NOT THE DAY NOR HOUR.' Above this is written, ‘OFT EVENINGS GLAD MAKE MORNINGS SAD'. On the left is ‘PRAY FOR THE SOUL OF JAMES WELLS' and on the right, ‘DIED FEB. 12TH, 1834'.<ref name=autogenerated1/> *Saint Paulinus' Cross stands at Kemple End and is a listed monument believed to date from Anglo-Saxon times.
