It has suffered many indignities, including defacement and demolition by the zealots of the Protestant reformation. Dr. Henry Duncan is credited with the restoration of the Ruthwell Cross, a 24 year project that he began in 1799. It is now housed in Ruthwell Church in Dumfriesshire, Scotland.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D701A3B9-6F46-4A77-A160-3B056B3C2FAC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
