The Cross. As usual the origins are somewhat lost in the mists of time, this one is "possibly" 15th Century. On the second storey there are five statues said to be the Virgin Mary with child; on her right is a Bishop; on her left is a crowned King; on the right of the Bishop, St. John the Baptist with the Agnus Dei and a book; and finally on the left of the King, the figure of Christ having risen from the tomb. From 1852 to 1900 the statues were moved to adorn the Town Hall but were then replaced. The present pinnacled parapet and steps date from 1900.
