The hexagonal Market Cross structure stands 50 feet tall, featuring six arches forming an arcade around a central pier with Doulting stone construction.
Walter Buckland and his wife Agnes funded the first market cross construction in 1500, which was later rebuilt by George Phillips Manners in 1841.
