Poultry Cross (Salisbury)

[1] It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed structure.

The others were the Cheese Cross in the present Cheesemarket area, Barnard's Cross (livestock) at the junction of Barnard Street and Culver Street and another which designated a market for wool and yarn at the east end of the present Market Place, near the War Memorial.

[1] The presence of a market cross on the site dates to 1307, and the name to about a century later.

The original flying buttresses were removed in 1711, as can be seen in the painting of 1800 by J. M. W. Turner;[3] the present buttresses date from 1852 to 1854,[1] when the upper parts of the cross were rebuilt to the designs of the architect Owen Browne Carter.

[4] The present-day site, around the structure, is used as part of Salisbury Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
