Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Winchester, the butter cross. On the riser of the top of five octagonal steps is this inscription:

Restored Anno Domini MDCCCLXV : William Budden Mayor The High Cross MCDXXII - MCDLXI

This indicates that the High Cross, or Buttercross as it is more usually known today, was probably erected between 1422 and 1461 and was restored in 1865. The restorer was the Victorian Gothich Architect George Gilbert Scott, although his name is ignored. But the Mayor of the time has to have a look in of course. For another view see 1556838 and for the context see 1556823
