This is one of many historic monuments in this beautiful City of Winchester,there is so much to see and do,we only had half a day nowhere enough to see everything this place has to offer.We managed to see the City Mill,the City Museum and of course the magnificent Cathedral,it’s full of interesting shops,cafes and restaurants with local inns scattered around,making it a great place to visit where there is something for everyone.We had a fantastic day and can highly recommend you visit if you are touring in this area.👍

The Winchester Buttercross is a good example of Early Medieval tradition of High Crosses. Used as boundary marker of a significant territory and political power. There are twelve figures on the statue. You can't miss it in the middle of the busy High Street. You will be amazed how tall it is. A plaquette with a brief explanations can be found on the nearby building.

This is a wonderful ancient monument from the 15th century and was originally a point for market sellers to stand and sell their wares (hence the name buttercross) although you're now more likely to find kids catching Pokemon. It's well preserved and is a great spot to watch the world go by, usually to the sound of buskers!

Beautiful 14th century cross, renovted in Victorian times. Same concept and style as Edward I’s crosses for Eleanor but it’s not one of those.

Beautiful historic city with its famous cathedral and environs. Excellent shopping well worth a visit and very close to the M4 motorway.
