NY3438 : Market Cross, Hesket Newmarket, Caldbeck CP
taken 18 years ago, near to Hesket Newmarket, Cumbria, England
Market Cross, Hesket Newmarket, Caldbeck CP
This was made in the 18C, although it had to be rebuilt after a car collided with one of the pillars. There is a ball finial on top of the pyramid roof. The interior of the cross is used every year as the setting for a life-size nativity scene (and also serves as a bus shelter!). There is also a bull ring just outside of the cobbled floor. The small building, now a cottage, was the stables, later garage, for Hesket Hall. The first floor was once used as a reading room.
