What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: The Market Cross and Stocks. This Grade II monument of limestone is probably a 16th century replacement of the original Butter Cross erected in 1268 to commemorate the grant of a weekly market and annual fair. The Stocks are a more recent replacement from the 1960s. Recorded plaque organisation: Brixworth Heritage Trail.
The Market Cross commemorates the grant of a weekly market and annual fair in 1268, while the Stocks represent medieval punishment methods, both significant for understanding local economic and legal history.
