Geddington is a village and civil parish on the A4300, previously A43, in North Northamptonshire between Kettering and Corby.

The monument dates from 1294, when the crosses were raised as a memorial by Edward I (1239–1307) to his late wife, Eleanor of Castile (1241–1290).

There were originally 12 monuments, one in each resting place of the funeral procession as they travelled to Westminster Abbey.

The old main road runs through the village and crosses the River Ise by a spectacular mediaeval bridge.

There is a partial cycle path from the village to the nearby town of Kettering and the village of Weekley, but difficulty crossing the road at Weekley means cycling remains an underused mode of transportation.
