Baker's Cross is a settlement in Kent, England. It is part of the village of Cranbrook, situated on the eastern edge of the village. == "Bloody Baker" legend ==
Legend links John Baker, Chancellor of the Exchequer under Queen Mary, and known locally within The Weald as "Bloody Baker", to Baker's Cross.〔〔〔 Legend firstly holds that he was riding on his way to Cranbrook, in order to have two local Protestants executed upon order of the Privy Council, when the news reached him (various versions of the legend having it that he heard the parish church bells ringing, or that he was met by a messenger) that Queen Mary was dead, and he turned back. The place where this happened was, in the words of biographer and historian Arthur Irwin Dasent, "at a place where three roads meet, known to this day as Baker's Cross".〔〔〔〔 Popular legend also has it that Baker was killed at Baker's Cross; although in fact he died in his house in London.〔〔
