How Christianity Reclaimed Pagan Sacred Sites | Adam’s Cross, Saddleworth

Old folklore tells of standing stones, lost upon Saddleworth Moor - but there are none who have found it. Could the site of Adam's Cross hold the secret? Early Ordnance Survey maps mark a mysterious site called Standing Stones, but today only a natural outcrop remains. So what happened to the stones? In this short film, I explore the legends, the landscape, and the fragile line between history and mythology. From the lost “Druidic” circles of the Pennines to the Christianisation of pagan Britain, Adam’s Cross might just be a relic of that great transition — when England’s old gods were replaced by new saints, and ancient beliefs were rewritten on the land itself. 📜 Featuring drone footage of Saddleworth Moor, historic map overlays, and excerpts from Ammon Wrigley (1911). — 🎥 Part of my ongoing series uncovering Saddleworth’s forgotten prehistoric and folkloric past.
