The King's Board now stands in Hillfield Gardens where it was placed in 1937. Originally it was a preaching cross standing in Westgate Street in the heart of Gloucester; it was later used as a butter market. It was removed from Westgate Street in 1750 and was placed in two further locations in Gloucester before going to Tibberton Court for a century.
