'Millennium Cross
The stone cross at the entrance to the car park was commissioned by Canterbury City Council with assistance from the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral to commemorate two thousand years of Christianity. The cross was carved from Portland Stone by the cathedral stone masons. The design is based on the original Reculver Cross, fragments of which survive in Canterbury Cathedral. There are other Millennium Crosses at Whitstable and Canterbury.'
