The article begins
The Eleanor crosses are lavishly decorated stone monuments in the shape of a cross…
Had I started this article, I would have written something very similar. (I live not that far from one of them.) But looking at the pictures, I don’t see the cross shape. Either in elevation or plan view. Any ideas? Or am I missing something obvious? — Ian Spackman 14:07, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
The article says that the original cross was on the south side of Trafalgar Square, and was replaced by the equestrian statue of Charles I. Well, according to encyclopaedia britannica, that statue is on the north-east side of the square. Anybody know for a fact where the original cross was? It would be nice to know the exact centre of London, just for future displays of pedantry! The Enc. Brit. picture
Why is it within the rules to describe the Stamford re-erection as 'contraversial' rather than 'Stunning', Beautiful' or 'Original'. The design is massively based on the Fragment mentioned, which appears to have come frem Rock House Brunnian ( talk) 22:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Any possibility of someone clever making a map showing the locations of the twelve resting points, so we can visualise the final journey of Eleanor? Cheers, Lindsay Hi 09:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
I think this article is close to being a B grade article, but it would need a bit more in the way of citations spread about in-line for that. I'd like to see it made up to FA eventually! It should not be too much work, I think some of the existing citations could be re-used later in the text, for example. If anyone has access to those texts, that is!-- Robert EA Harvey ( talk) 11:42, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Not *just* a replica of the original cross, apparently: https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2014/04/01/chance-to-see-inside-the-lost-church-under-charing-cross-station/ 81.134.152.4 ( talk) 15:22, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
There's an excellent early-C14 manuscript illumination, depicting what is widely agreed to be an unidentified Eleanor cross, in the Luttrell Psalter: available on Commons at p. 8 of this file. It would make a good addition to this article, but needs to be extracted and cropped, which is a bit beyond me. Does anyone want to volunteer? GrindtXX ( talk) 14:56, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

The map in this article used to show a section of England running from Lincoln in the north to London in the south, with the locations of the crosses marked. Something has gone wrong in the past few weeks, so that the focus of the map has shifted northwards: it is now centred on Lincoln, and only shows the northernmost 5 crosses in the bottom half. I have no idea what has caused this glitch. I posted a request on the Map workshop page a couple of days ago, but no responses so far. If no-one is willing or able to fix it, an alternative solution would be to use this map at right (though I'm not over-keen on it). Any comments? GrindtXX ( talk) 18:26, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
