Grade I Listed and Scheduled Ancient Monument the 14th century Market Cross has a finial added in the 1837 restoration. Probably still in its original position or very close to it, it is believed that the cross may be associated with the grant of 1387 to William La Zouche for an annual fair and a market on Tuesdays in Harringworth. The Parish Council managed to secure donations in 2014 to carry out renovation after construction work to provide mains drainage in the village found the cross to be in need of some attention. Cross Farmhouse is Grade II Listed and has 16th century origins but was heightened and remodelled in the first half of the 19th century.
