GV
II

Former market cross. Probably C17, relocated and restored in 1911. Magnesian
limestone. Two circular steps, a square pedestal brought to an octagon, a
shaft in 2 parts, square in section but with stop-chamfered corners, and a
moulded square cap to a top with 4 arched faces, all these with carving (front
and back faces have crosses, others are indecipherable); set into the bottom
of the shaft, a lettered brass plaque stating that the cross was removed during
plague in 1644, and restored by public subscription to commemorate the coronation
of King George V in 1911.
