Like so much of Scarborough’s heritage, The Buttercross receives little or no acknowledgement. What is one of Scarborough’s only Grade 1 Listed monuments is tucked away with little or no acknowledgement and certainly nothing to stir the interest of the unknowing passer-by. Whilst Queen Victoria’s statue stands proudly but somewhat unkempt in the Town Hall gardens and King Richard’s House in Sandside has some passive reference to Scarborough’s history, the tall stone pillar that is all that remains of the Buttercross gives little indication that it was once a proud market cross, now over 600 years old. |
