Geddington is the site of one of the three remaining Eleanor Crosses, erected in the 13th century by King Edward I to mark the route taken by the funeral procession of his wife, Queen Eleanor, who died near Lincoln. The others are at Hardingstone, on the edge of Northampton, and at Waltham Cross. The one outside Charing Cross station in London is a Victorian replacement for the original, which stood in modern day Trafalgar Square.
