Chester Tour 2 - The Cross

where to stay, where to eat, what to do, where to shop and what's on this week

Chester's sandstone cross was erected in the 15th century, marking the centre of trading and government within the city. It is said that this is the spot where the Romans first set up camp nearly 2,000 years ago, and evidence can be seen in the four principle roads that meet at this point.

The ancient office of Town Crier has been reinstated and proclamations are issued regularly from the cross.
