sentences:  The current name might result from confusion with Bewell's Cross in Bristol, or the Compton name.The local "squires", the Miles family, had the cross moved from the riverbank and re-erected in Kingsweston Lane, nearly opposite the entrance to their mansion, King's Weston House, probably at some time between 1863 and 1868.They may have done this to safeguard it against the threat of development taking place on their estate land at Avonmouth.
