Market Cross, Devizes

Market Cross, Devizes, in 2007

The Market Cross in Devizes, Wiltshire, England sits in Market Place at the centre of the town.[1] It was constructed in 1814 on the site of an older cross. Designed by architect James Wyatt, it is Gothic in style.[2] It was completed posthumously to his design, following Wyatt's death in a coach accident near Marlborough.[3] His son Benjamin Wyatt is also credited as the architect, likely because he executed his father's design.[4]
