Chichester Market Cross JRU01_01_209
MARKET CROSS, CHICHESTER, WEST SUSSEX. The Market Cross, viewed from the west.
The Market Cross was built in around 1500, with the belfry and clock being added in 1724. The cross was originally set within a large square, since built upon. As the population of Chichester grew, the market was moved from the Market Cross to the Market House on North Street in the early 19th century.

This print captures the majestic Chichester Market Cross in all its glory. Standing tall and proud, this historic landmark has been a focal point of trade and commerce in Chichester, West Sussex for centuries. Built around 1500, the Market Cross showcases stunning medieval and post-medieval architecture that is truly awe-inspiring. The photograph offers a view from the west, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details of this magnificent structure. The belfry and clock were added in 1724, further enhancing its grandeur. Originally situated within a large square which has since been developed upon, it served as the heart of bustling market activity. As time went on and Chichester's population grew, the market was eventually relocated to North Street's Market House during the early 19th century. However, despite this change, the significance of Chichester Market Cross remains deeply rooted in history. J R Uppington skillfully captures not only the architectural beauty but also transports us back in time with his lens. This print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how trade played an integral role in shaping communities like Chichester. Whether you're an admirer of medieval architecture or simply fascinated by historical landmarks, this image will undoubtedly transport you to another era – one where bustling markets thrived under the watchful gaze of Chichester Market Cross.
