"This is a neo-classical rotunda of eight Tuscan columns supporting a low-stepped dome, surmounted by an urn. It was built in 1793 by the Lord of the Manor, Sir John Danvers, to replace the historic 15th century Market Cross which he had removed to his own park at nearby Swithland Hall, where it remains to this day. A replica of the cross was built and sited in the Market place opposite the Butter Market in celebration of the Parish Council centenary." (
