The Market House was built sometime between about 1753 - 1759, and was restored in the 1960s. The Market Cross which stands alongside, is also known as The Pinnacle. It has a medieval base, and the sundial on top of the column has a date of 1741. This photo predates the complete rebuild that The Pinnacle underwent in 1982. Both the Market House and Cross are Grade II Listed.
