Statement of Interest

Apparently the old market cross was sited originally in front of the old court house and was moved in the 19th century; after The Square was created between North and South Main Streets, it was stored for a while in the jail. When it returned to view in 19th century, it was first placed to the west of the new market cross (listed separately above), but was latterly moved to its east side.
