More information : [TF 0841 5630]. Cross [G.T.] (Site of). (1)
The village or market cross at Rowston, which stood on the green
near the church, was restored in 1910, retaining the top step,
base and shaft of the 15th century original. (2-4)
The restored cross stands at TF 0841 5631 see GP AO/64/190/4. There
is no local knowledge of an alternative, pre-1910, position. (5)
The top step is 0.2m high and 1.0m square. It is surmounted by a
socket-stone 0.8m square and 0.35m high. The shaft is now 0.8m
high, and 0.3m square at the foot. The shaft originally was shaped
into an octagonal section, but has been worn away on the SE side,
probably by use as a sharpening stone.
Published survey correct on AM.
No change since report of 5.1.65. (6)
