A tall 15th-century cross shaft on Binham's green, raised where a yearly fair ran for about eight hundred years
Open accessfree to visit at any reasonable time
A weathered stone shaft stands on Binham’s village green, built in the 15th century from Barnack limestone on a two-metre base of flint rubble. Monks from the nearby Binham Priory may have paid for it. The cross that once topped the shaft is long gone, though a band of carved moulding survives partway up, worn almost smooth. Henry I granted a charter for a fair here in the early 1100s, and traders kept gathering on this green every year until the early 1950s. There’s no charge or booking, and the cross stands out in the open for anyone passing to see.
