St Oswald

On Hadrian's Wall Path and at the southern end of St Oswald's Way lies one of the most important sites in early northern Christianity. St Oswald's Church is at the site of the Battle of Heavenfield where, in AD 635, King (later Saint) Oswald of Northumbria raised a cross before defeating King Cadwallon ap Cadfon of Gwynedd. The cult of St Oswald spread to Europe and St Oswald's Day is 5th August. Today's oak cross in the field dates to the 1930s.
