Eleanor's bier spent the night of either 6 or 7 December 1290, or possibly both, in [[Geddington]], [[Northamptonshire]].<ref name="pow194"/><ref name="cock345"/> The master mason for the cross here is not known: it was probably constructed in 1294 or 1295. It was recorded by [[William Camden]] in 1607;<ref>{{cite book |first=William |last=Camden |author-link=William Camden |title=Britannia |location=London |year=1607 |page=377 |url=http://www.philological.bham.ac.uk/cambrit/huntseng.html#norts11 }}</ref> and still stands in the centre of the village, the best-preserved of the three survivors.<ref>Powrie 1990, 105–6.</ref> It is unique among the three in having a triangular plan, and a taller and more slender profile with a lower tier entirely covered with rosette [[diapering]], instead of the arch-and-gable motif with tracery which appears on both the others; and canopied statues surmounted by a slender hexagonal pinnacle.<ref name="nhleGed">{{NHLE |num=1286992 |desc=Queen Eleanor's Cross |grade=I |access-date=20 April 2019 }}</ref> It is possible that the other northern crosses (Lincoln, Grantham and Stamford) were in a similar relatively simple style; and that this reflects either the need to cut back expenditure in the latter stages of the project for financial reasons,<ref>Liversidge 1989, p. 100.</ref> or a decision taken at the planning stage to make the crosses progressively larger and more ornate as the sequence proceeded south.<ref name="Cockerill 2014, p. 357"/>
