Description

The market cross in Oldhamstocks is an 18th-century structure made of ashlar stone, located on the village green. It features bull-faced ashlar blocks, which may date from the 20th century, forming the pedestals. Above these pedestals is a narrow shaft that is chamfered at the edges. The shaft ends in a moulded neck and a small ball finial.
