1689. Octagonal on plan, with lead covered dome roof, wood pedestal supporting
a lead figure of justice weighing 18 cwt, added in 1754. The columns
are now supported on stone plinths but originally the area of the cross
was raised on steps, the columns resting on wood bases, and in the centre
was a prisoner's cage for temporary detention of delinquents, which was
removed in 1836, the steps being done away with in 1867, when an earlier
dungeon was discovered underneath, said to be the remains of the earlier
cross destroyed by the fire of 1688. Scheduled AM.
Nos 1 to 11 (odd), Nos 11A, 13 and 17 to 21 (odd) form a group together
with the butter cross.
