Market Cross, Medieval cross and war memorial in Glastonbury, England.
The Market Cross stands at the center of Glastonbury, featuring stone construction with decorative elements that mark the traditional marketplace location.
During medieval times, the Market Cross served as the central point for trade activities and public announcements in Glastonbury's commercial district.
The structure functions as both a Grade II listed building and a war memorial, commemorating local soldiers while maintaining its historical market significance.
Visitors can find the Market Cross at the intersection of High Street and Magdalene Street, where it continues to serve as a meeting point.
The Market Cross combines architectural elements from different periods, reflecting modifications made to transform it from a market monument into a war memorial.
