Moscar Cross is the name of a standing stone (or "guide stoop") and surrounding area in the Peak District on the border between Derbyshire and Sheffield, England. Moscar moor is located south of the cross,[1] and contains a stone circle, Hordron Edge stone circle.[2] Moscar CrossThe current Moscar Cross (also known as "Humblestone Cross"; {{gbmapping|SK231883}}), is a guide stoop erected in the 18th century, at a parish boundary and packhorse track junction. It is thought a cross existed at the point during earlier periods. The name 'Moscar' is thought to derive from to 'moss' (mos) and 'carr' (kjarr) both referring to marshy areas.[3][4][5] Moscar Cross has been claimed as the location of 'Whitcross' in Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre.[6] References1. ^Ordnance Survey. 1:25000. c.2010 2. ^{{NHLE|num=1018367 |desc=Hordron Edge stone circle, 540m south east of Cutthroat Bridge|accessdate=6 December 2012}} 3. ^{{citation| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=o4oxAQAAIAAJ| title = Place-names of south-west Yorkshire: that is, of so much of the West Riding as lies south of the Aire from Keighley onwards| first = Armitage|last = Goodall| year = 1914 |page = 215}} 4. ^{{citation| url =https://books.google.com/books?id=1tjkAAAAMAAJ| title = The Place-names of Derbyshire| first =Kenneth| last =Cameron| year = 1959| page =86}} 5. ^{{citation| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=J-nkAAAAMAAJ| title = Crosses of the Peak District| first = N.T.| last = Sharpe| publisher = Landmark| year = 2002|page =34}} 6. ^{{citation| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=7x0RAQAAIAAJ| title = The Brontës came here| first = Phyllis |last = Whitehead|publisher = | year = 1963|pages=167, 178}} External links{{commons category|Moscar, Peak district}} 1 : Peak District |
