Neville's Cross, Durham

Neville's Cross is a suburb of Durham, County Durham. Neville's Cross became a wealthy residential suburb of Durham late in the 19th century as development extended up Crossgate. The remains of the cross itself marked the point where pilgrims approaching from the west, along the old Roman road from Willington, would have first been able to see Durham Cathedral, the shrine of St Cuthbert. Neville's Cross is within the council area of County Durham.
