Bristol High Cross information


The cross is now at the entrance to the gardens of the Stourhead estate

Bristol High Cross is a monumental market cross said to have been erected c.1373 in the centre of Bristol, England, to commemorate the granting of a charter by Edward III to make Bristol a county, separate from Somerset and Gloucestershire.[1] It was likely constructed on the site of an earlier market cross. The cross at it survives today is in Decorated Gothic style. In 1764 it was moved to the Stourhead estate in Wiltshire, where it still stands.[2]
