Priory Cross, Worksop
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 4 Oct 2015
13th century in origin, the cross shaft restored in the 20th century. It appears to have been a market cross rather than a preaching cross, and there is speculation that it may have been moved from the Market Place at the top of Bridge Street, where a cross is shown on 18th century maps. Alternatively there may traditionally have been two market sites. It was moved to its current position from a location in the middle of Cheapside when the junction was remodelled in 1896. Listed Grade II.
