BANBURY CROSS
OXFORDSHIRE

The original cross at Banbury stood in the Market Place, and was built of stone with steps surrounding it. The tall shaft carried carvings and a crucifix. It was destroyed by Puritans in July 1660, because they thought that it attracted superstitious veneration from the people. The road is known as 'Horse Fair' and the tower of ST Mary's church can be seen to the right of the monument.
