Henley in Arden Market cross

Only the steps and lower part of the upright pillar of this 15th century monument survive today, the capital had fallen off in 1894 although the top half of the shaft was still there in 1960. It originally stood 22 feet high and it would have been nice to have made a full sized replica through a hole in the ceiling to the upper floor!

 In 1997 I was given copies of a set of ancient drawings from the Gough map in the Bodleian library to copy 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.  The model had to be made out of scale regarding height as the heritage centre has very low ceilings
