Chichester Cross, Market cross building in Chichester, England.

The octagonal stone structure features pointed arch entrances at each face, with buttresses and pinnacles adorning its architectural design.

Bishop Edward Story commissioned this stone cross between 1477 and 1503 to replace an earlier wooden structure built by Bishop William Reade.

The cross serves as the central meeting point where the four main streets of Chichester intersect, marking the heart of community activities.

Three clock faces mounted on the structure display accurate time to pedestrians walking through the traffic-free city center streets.

The structure contains tablets above each entrance that document repairs made during the reign of King Charles II in the 17th century.
