Market Cross, Beverley - East Yorkshire

Market Cross, Beverley - East Yorkshire
The Georgian Market Cross was built between 1711 and 1714 and was designed by architect Theophilus Shelton. The coats of arms on view include the crest of the Borough of Beverley, and those of Sir Charles Hotham and Sir Michael Warton, the then town’s M.P.s, who contributed towards the construction costs. Situated in the Butterdings area of the town centre, the Market Cross has always been a gathering place especially on market days. In recent years the Christmas decorations on the Market Cross have made it the centre of the towns Christmas activities. The cross is now a Grade I Listed Building.

A beautifully ornate and spectacular Market Cross Doug! I'm not surprised that it is listed.
Very good perspective with the top showing well against the sky.

All the best, Rosa.

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Pat Del club
Thanks for your visit Pat. The church in the distance is in fact St, Mary's. there is however, a St. Catherine's Church in Leconfield a few kms to the north of Beverely. Perhaps that is the church you are thinking about.

All the best, Doug

beautiful.
What does Knt. stand for?
5 years ago.
Doug Shepherd club has replied to Boarischa Krautmo club
As far as I know Knt stands for knight, as in knight of the realm in the UK. You will have noticed that the gentleman has the word Sir before his name, indicating that he is a knight. It is not usual these days to use Knt. Thanks for your visit and kind comment Boarischa.

All the best, Doug

A very handsome Market Cross, Doug. Probably the most ornate one that I've seen.

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Amelia club
Thanks so much for your visit Amelia. It is very grand considering that at the time Beverley would have been a fairly small market town.

Best regards, Doug
