1. Title: The Medieval Market Cross of Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, England The Wootton Bassett Cross, also known as the Old Market Cross or Buttercross, is a beautifully preserved timber structure that stands proudly in the heart of the historic market town of Wootton Bassett, located in Wiltshire, England. This medieval relic, believed to date back to the 15th or 16th century, has been a significant landmark and a symbol of the town's rich history for centuries. The cross, which is adorned with intricate carvings, was traditionally used as a marketplace and a gathering spot for the community. It served as a place where farmers and traders would sell their produce and goods, and where townsfolk would come together to exchange news and stories. The name "Buttercross" refers to the town's reputation for producing high-quality butter, which was sold at the market. The Wootton Bassett Cross is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the medieval period. Its intricate carvings depict various scenes from biblical stories, as well as everyday life in medieval England.
