Possibly by James Smith. Erected 1714. Red ashlar market
cross, comprising single fluted Ionic column having swagged
capital supporting (lead) Pegasus; all raised on panelled
octagonal drum base and stepped plinth.
Erected when the new line of road through Thornhill was
built; originally placed south of present site between the
Inn (now 99-I02 South Drumlanrig St.) and the (demolished)
courthouse; shown there on RHP 37535 (1742): moved to present
site presumably circa 1772 when plans were made for
developing the village (RHP 38136/5), and certainly there
by circa 1790 when OSA account was written.
NRA(S) 1275, bundle 1545 includes account to William Lukeup
and Robert Porteous "for securing the cross of Thornhill
when in danger of falling" 13.6.1744.
