Market Cross ~ Nunney
Just past the George Inn, by the river, you will find the old Market Cross with this inscription:
Formerley stood in the churchyard, it was taken down in 1869 & disposed of in pieces. Some years later, parts of the cross were found in a builder's yard & were acquired by Mr.J.H.Shore of Whatley, for the sum of £2. The cross was restored by Mr.J.Foster, an architect, and stood for many years in Mr Shore's grounds. In June 1959 the village fair for which there was a Royal Charter granted in 1259, was revived and with monies raised by the Fair, the cross was returned to the village.
