Chichester Market Cross

Chichester Cathedral is right in the heart of Chichester, less than 100 metres from the market cross which marks the city centre. The North, South, East and West streets radiate out from here and many people choose to stop here and sit for a while. The Market Cross stands at the centre of Chichester and is believed to have been built in 1501. Bishop Edward Story paid ten pounds to the Mayor of Chichester for the ground on which it is built.
