Abbot's Chair

The Abbot's Chair is the common name of a former monastic cross, the Charlesworth Cross, in the English county of Derbyshire. Only the socket remains of this boundary cross, built by the monks of Basingwerk Abbey in North Wales; it lies close to the so-called Monks Road at gbmappingsmall|SK029903, near the entrance track to Taiga Farm.
