This market cross formerley stood in Nunney churchyard. It was taken down in 1869 and disposed of in pieces. Some years later, some parts of the cross were found in a builder's yard and were acquired by Mr. J. H. Shore of Whatley, for the sum of £2. The cross was restored by Mr J. Foster an architect, and stood for many years in Mr. Shore's grounds. In June 1959 the village fair for which there was a Royal Charter granted in 1259, was revived and with monies raised by the fair the cross was returned to the village.
