Market Cross. Shaft and base possibly C18, top probably C19 addition or repair. Sandstone mounted on limestone steps. Single round shaft on octagonal base surmounted by ball on octagonal corniced top. Set on 3 hexagonal steps. In 1823 there is reference to "the new cross", it was taken down in 1845 and re-erected on top of a lock-up built on its site during the construction of the railway when there was rioting locally. The lock-up was taken down in 1862 and the cross replaced on the ground in its original position. Further information: Curwen, J.F. History of Heversham with Milnthorpe, pub. Titus Wilson 1930.
