Formerly known as: Cross of St Paulinus, near junction of Bank Parade and Church Street BANK PARADE. Market cross. Probably erected c1295 in former market place to east of Church of St Peter; removed to Godley Lane c1617, and thence to this site in 1881. Roughly-hewn millstone grit monolith on low chamfered square base. Rectangular in section and approximately 3m high, tapering towards a mutilated wheel-head top which has a small raised hemisphere in the centre of each face but now lacks the horizontal spokes and the outer ring (only the stumps remaining). Although mutilated and ex situ, a rare and important survival in this county.
