Description
The village cross, located in Belton, was built in 1838 by architect Anthony Salvin. It is made of ashlar and features an octagonal tapered shaft adorned with large dogtooth ornamentation, a moulded capital, and a tall coped finial. The cross stands on a broached square pedestal and is supported by a square base consisting of three steps. This structure is one of several estate buildings designed by Salvin for John, the first Earl Brownlow, associated with Belton House.
