The New High Civic Cross, Bristol, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The New High Civic Cross, Bristol, 1850. The noble area of the College Green was formerly adorned with a magnificent structure, surmounted by a cross, and the niches enriched with eight statues of the monarchs of England...This erection was forty feet in height, and must have presented a very handsome and imposing appearance...The original one was erected in the year 1373, by the Corporation of the City, as a memorial of their gratitude to the reigning monarch, Edward III...In consequence of the inconvenience experienced by its being placed in the centre of the city, this beautiful structure was removed in 1736 to College Green...it was again taken down, and presented to that venerable antiquary, Sir Richard Colt Hoare, Bart. of Stourhead, Wiltshire, who placed it in his park, where it still remains...the New Cross...will be an exact copy of the original'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
