History

Market cross of the mid 1840s, originally erected in Crown Square and thereby replacing the medieval cross; by Thomas Fulljames, architect of Gloucester. The cross was moved to its present location at Lenten Pool in 1923, when the War Memorial was set up in Crown Square in its place.

Exterior

The cross consists of a tall tapering octagonal cross shaft with ogee-stopped top and chamfered abacus; 2-stage square chamfered plinth. The shaft is surmounted by a rectangular upper section with moulded capping and simple surmounting iron cross; the overall height is approximately 4,5m.
