Markedskors

The elaborate Malmesbury markedskors
Fransk markedskors fra omkring år 1400

Et markedskors eller på skotsk mercat cross, er en strukur til at markere en markedsplads i en købstad, der der historisk har haft ret til at afholde regelmæssige markeder tildelt af en monark, biskop eller baron. Markedskors var oprindeligt en karakteristisk tidlig middelalderlig insulær kunstform af fristånde stenstukturer eller stenkors, der ofte var rigt udskårn og dekorerede, som går tilbage til 600-tallet Markedskors findes i dag i købstæder i hele Storbritannien. Britiske emigranter opførte også markskors i deres nye byer og der an findes adskillige i både Canada og Australien.

Markedskorsene har en række forskellige udformninger som spir, obelisker eller kors, der er almindelige i mindre købstæder som f.eks. Stalbridge, Dorset, til store ornamenterede strukturer som Chichester Cross eller Malmesbury Market Cross. De kan også være opført i træ som f.eks. i Wymondham, Norfolk.

The Market Cross was built at the end of the 15th Century and was, according to a quote of the time, “a place for poor folkes to stand when the rain cometh” . Today it remains one of the finest examples of its kind in England.
