Stone Market Cross in Middleham village centre, Leyburn, North Yorkshire Dales, UK

---

"This cross is thought to commemorate the grant obtained for Middleham in 1479 of a fair and market twice yearly, in Whitsun Week and at the feast of St. Simon and St. Jude, by Richard as Duke of Gloucester. The heraldic animal on the cross may be Richard's own cognizance of the White Boar, or the emblem of the Nevilles."
