Chapels and wayside crosses
It is known that these small sacred structures were built in locations which were felt to need divine protection. They were holy sites, situated at places where the known, everyday world met a world that was considered strange or threatening – the areas around churches or cemeteries, the boundaries of villages or hamlets, or at crossroads.
