EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the early 1910s, transports us back in time to the heart of Chichester, Sussex, where the Market Cross stands proudly in the center of the market square. An intricately designed Perpendicular structure, the Market Cross was the masterpiece of Edward Story, the Bishop of Chichester. Constructed primarily of Caen stone, this elaborate monument boasts a central column that seemingly pierces through the roof, held aloft by eight impressive flying buttresses. The roof itself, adorned with intricate designs and patterns, adds to the overall grandeur of the structure. Surrounding the Market Cross are a myriad of shops and premises, their facades showcasing the architectural charm of the era. The central location of the Market Cross served as a focal point for the community, drawing people together for commerce, social interaction, and the exchange of ideas. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant character of Chichester during the early 20th century, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical images.
