	THE ILAM CROSS TRUST - HISTORY OF ILAM CROSS
		Mary Watts-Russell commissioned the memorial to her father, which is such a magnificent feature of the church at Ilam, from the greatest English sculptor of his day, Francis Chantrey, another important contact in the history of Ilam Cross.
		Derick’s design for Ilam was however significantly different from his rejected design for Oxford, probably indicating a sensitivity to location and, perhaps, respect for Jesse’s personal taste.
		At Ilam, the choice of stones was doubly disastrous The basins for the spring water and the first four courses of stone are constructed of a local triassic material, probably from a quarry a few miles away at Stanton, a sandstone cemented with barite.

		The school was built, in the same Apline style as the rest of the Ilam, in 1857 by Jesse Watts Russell.
		Ilam is an interesting 'estate' village that was moved in the 1820s by the new owners of Ilam Hall, the Watts Russell family.
		They felt that the tenants' cottages spoilt the view and so, when they rebuilt the Hall, they built the 'new' model village of Ilam in Alpine style just out of sight but left the church where it still sits today midway between the Hall and village.
