Coventry Cross, Medieval market cross in central Coventry, England.
The Coventry Cross stands 57 feet tall near Holy Trinity Church, featuring multiple tiers with statues representing kings and saints in stone niches.
The original cross, first documented in 1300, served as a central marketplace marker until 1771, when deterioration led to its demolition.
Three preserved statues from the 1544 cross, including one of Henry VI, are now exhibited at St Mary's Guildhall and Herbert Art Gallery.
The current structure, relocated in 2023, includes colored windows that tell Coventry's history and stands 35 meters north of the original location.
The cross incorporates a 3D-printed replica of King Henry VI, digitally scanned from the original medieval statue at Herbert Art Gallery.
