Market Cross, Grade I listed market cross in Cornhill, Bury St Edmunds, England
The Market Cross features a neoclassical design with round-headed openings, Venetian windows, and Ionic columns on all four elevations of the structure.
Built in 1780 following designs by Robert Adam, the Market Cross replaced earlier timber structures that served as locations for corn sellers since 1584.
The building contained a theater from 1734, presenting productions including Shakespeare's King Lear until the Theatre Royal opened in Westgate Street in 1819.
Following its 2021 reopening, the Market Cross provided spaces for art exhibitions, fitness classes, craft markets, and community gatherings until April 2023.
The structure contains Etruscan style ornaments and decorative panels with swags and paterae above the niches in its upper-level architectural elements.
