Full Description
{1} A market cross is recorded in the market place at Rothwell in the Tudor period, close to where the market house now stands. It has been stated, perhaps wrongly, that the market house was built on the site of the cross, perhaps through a misreading of the contract for the construction of the market house. The cross apparently continued in existence as late as 1654-6, although it should be noted that in the later 19th century the Market House was described as 'the cross'. The market cross had certainly gone by 1813.
