Tagged with: Market cross
18th century. Ashlar market cross set on village green.
Bull-faced ashlar blocks (20th century?) forming pedestals,
with narrow shaft above, chamfered at arrises, terminating in
moulded neck and small ball finial.
The market cross was preserved in the grounds of the manse,
early this century. It is suggested that the Tweeddale family
bequeathed the green and gave the market cross to
Oldhamstocks, for the holding of public fairs, which were
permitted weekly from 1627. If this is so the cross could be
earlier than 18th century, though this appears a more likely
date.
