Eleanor's bier spent the night of 4 December 1290 in [[Grantham]], [[Lincolnshire]].<ref name="pow194">Powrie 1990, p. 194.</ref><ref name="cock345">Cockerill 2014, p. 345.</ref> The master mason for the cross here is not known: it was probably constructed in 1294 or 1295. It stood at the upper end of the High Street. It was pulled down during the [[English Civil War|Civil War]], but in February 1647 Grantham Corporation ordered that any stones that could be traced should be recovered for public use. No part is known to survive, but it is conceivable that the substantial steps of the standing Market Cross comprise stones that originally belonged to the Eleanor Cross. A letter from the 18th-century antiquary [[William Stukeley]] (now untraceable) is alleged to have stated that he had one of the lions from Eleanor's coats of arms in his garden.<ref>Powrie 1990, pp. 80–81.</ref>

A modern relief stone plaque to Eleanor was installed at the [[Grantham Guildhall]] in 2015.<ref>{{cite news |title=Plaque harking back to Queen Eleanor memorial cross to be unveiled at Grantham's Guildhall |newspaper=Grantham Journal |date=15 August 2015 |url=https://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/news/plaque-harking-back-to-queen-eleanor-memorial-cross-to-be-unveiled-at-grantham-s-guildhall-1-6905332/ |access-date=6 June 2019 }}</ref>
