The market cross probably dates from the 17th century. It is similar to those at Kirkland and Garstang (Image]). The stocks, probably from the 18th century, consist of two short, stone pillars with a pair of wooden stock beams. The beams, which have been replaced several times, contain two pairs of leg-holes. Both are Grade II listed structures.
