Text 1 The iron ring in the market cross was for tethering bulls at the annual bull-baiting, argues local historian Con Bray, a custom recorded in the town until 1835. Text 2 Bull-baiting was held in the town, and a ring was needed for it. But the ring in the cross is at chest height, too high to hold a bull, and the ironwork is of a pattern used for the chains of the town's pillory, whose position is recorded beside the cross. The ring held people, not bulls, and Bray has attached the cross to the town's more picturesque cruelty.
