Market Cross. Shaft and base possibly C18, top probably C19 addition or repair.
Sandstone mounted on limestone steps. Single round shaft on octagonal base
surmounted by ball on octagonal corniced top. Set on 3 hexagonal steps. In 1823
there is reference to "the new cross", it was taken down in 1845 and re-erected on
top of a lock-up built on its site during the construction of the railway when there
was rioting locally. The lock-up was taken down in 1862 and the cross replaced on
the ground in its original position. Further information:
