Warkworth Market Cross
-
Description
" The Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1303500?section=official-list-entry Market Cross probably survives from a 1706 cross whose upper part was replaced c.1830 by the Duke of Northumberland, and restored in C20. It has a square 3-stepped base (bottom step partly under tarmac); cross octagonal above square plinth; restored upper part, above panelled set-back and has sunk cinquefoil-headed panels holding small cast-iron plates with Percy emblems (alternating crescents and fetterlocks). The top has swept panelled dome and cast-iron finial with gilded cross. The Greenhouse behind it on the A1068 is also Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1155282?section=official-list-entry and was originally a Co-operative shop and described as "A good example of a small inter-war Co-op building well designed to fit a site of special importance." On the left at the end of Dial Place is the Grade I listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1303446?section=official-list-entry parish church of St Lawrence."
