15th-century monument with octagonal steps & a pillar carved with the faces of renowned figures.
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.
