Market Cross, Grantham
The Market Cross was the former preaching cross of the friars and was erected to denote the site of the market which has been held in the town since the 13th century. The cross has a mediæval stepped base with an 18th century cap.
The cross was removed in 1779 and later returned but was subsequently removed again in 1884 due its dangerous condition and was replaced by an obelisk. It was returned to its current position in 1910.
