Description
Market Cross Cottage and the War Memorial are located in Castle Combe Market Place and date from around 1800. The cottage is built of rubble stone with a stone tiled roof and features end wall stacks. It is two stories high and has a two-window range of flush, two-light unmoulded mullion windows with sashes. The central door is set in a flush doorcase. The rear range of the building is an earlier cottage that has been heightened and altered.
Attached to the south side of the cottage is an early 19th-century Gothic screen wall, which appears to have been designed to close a view. This wall includes an ogee stone arch with a ball finial next to Market Cross Cottage, and a length of coped wall leading to a tall moulded pointed arch with plain impost blocks. This arch has been infilled with ashlar walling and converted into the village War Memorial.
