Henley in Arden Market Cross replica made by Vic  Newey

Only the steps and lower part of the upright shaft of this 15th century monument survive today, the remains of the capital having fallen off in 1894 although the top half of the shaft was still there in 1960. It originally stood 22 feet high.

 In 1997 I had a meeting with Derek Sharman from the heritage centre, I was then given copies of a set of ancient drawings from the Gough map in the Bodleian library to make a replica of the Henley in Arden market cross, including the missing upper parts. On the 4 faces of the capital were niches, containing, 1. The Rood; 2. The Trinity; 3. St Peter with his key, the 4th; presumed to be Virgin with child  which had crumbled away in medieval  times, so we discussed what it might have been so I could replicate it. Unfortunately the model had to be made consideraby out of proportion regarding the height as the heritage centre has very low ceilings.
