A MEDIEVAL monument marking the site of a bloody clash between English and Scottish forces is in line for an overhaul, thanks to a major lottery grant.
Plans have been submitted to Northumberland County Council proposing a series of improvements at the site of Percy’s Cross, near Otterburn.
As well as restoring the pillar to its former glory, heritage experts also hope to attract more visitors to the site, with a revamped car park.
Karen Collins, heritage and engagement officer at the Revitalising Redesdale project, said: “We’re renovating the Percy’s Cross site to create a more appealing place for people to visit.
