The King's Board is thought to be 14th century in origin and reputed to have been given to the City of Gloucester by King Richard II, and was used as a butter market in the late 16th century. The King's Board now stands in Hillfield Gardens beside London Road where it was placed in 1937. Originally it was a preaching cross standing in Westgate Street in the heart of Gloucester; it was later used as a butter market. It was removed from Westgate Street in 1750 and was placed in two further locations in Gloucester before going to Tibberton Court for a century. It is a Grade II listed structure. Between the arches there are carved biblical scenes. Image] Image] Image] Image] Image] Image]
