In the foreground is the pump, also shown at http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=78100062 and described at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1361782 . This description seems to have become confused between the pump and the butter cross, since this roof is clearly not octagonal. Across the market place is the post office on the right, and, on the left, the north end of the buildings described at https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1177830 . The market place is crossed by the Rutland Round and the Viking Way.
