| The Market Place was where people assembled for the market to sell and buy goods, to mark special occasions, for town events, or for proclamations such as the death of a monarch.
It was also for public whippings, seeing people in the stocks, and for hiring labour.
After metal supports were installed around the cross, young men would often climb up to get a better view at some of the events.
The hunt also assembled here before setting off.
