An interesting story about the atonement crosses. It's a shame that we don't know what the delinquent did.

Stone crosses are rare testimonies of medieval jurisprudence. Since the 14th century, convicted murderers or manslaughterers were required to have such stone crosses made. This was part of their atonement and served as a warning to fellow human beings and future generations. The exact act of violence that prompted the Sergen Cross is unknown.
This granite stone cross is said to have once stood near Kathlow. From approximately 1970 to 2013, it was located on a property by the Sergen Castle Pond.
The cross was loaned to the town center in 2019, fittingly located near the Stations of the Cross.
