The Market Cross is a timber-framed structure built in 1617-18 after the fire of 1616. It was restored in 1863, and again in 1989 by Feilden & Mawson. It now houses the Tourist Information Centre.

DESCRIPTION: octagonal timber-framed with plaintiled roof; open to ground floor; eight hollow-chamfered stone bases support eight sunk-quadrant and wave-moulded vertical posts on polygonal bases - upper storey with exposed studs and limewashed infill; fascia boards decorated with foliage and other devices, including the dates of construction and restoration; each facet with a three-light ovolo-moulded timber cross casement and a pyramid roof.

INTERIOR: a central polygonal post rises to support chamfered cross trees repeated at collar level, probably imitating contemporary construction of post windmills; jowled corner posts and staggered butt purlins below with a plain butt above.
