    Tips

    September 20, 2025

    In the case of a "market cross," such as the one we encounter once again in the center of Chichester, one would have to ask the fundamental question of whether it is actually primarily a small sacred monument—as its cross shape suggests—or whether it is more of a secular object. In times long past, such a cross—unlike the classic wayside crosses or field crosses—was only allowed to be erected on site if the locality in question also possessed so-called "market rights"—that is, if it had been granted a corresponding privilege by the local ruler.
