Swaffham – Butter Market Cross

Butter Market Cross,  Swaffham November 26, 2019 admin

The town’s market cross, erected for the Earl Orford between 1781 and 1783 (I’m not sure why it took two years, civil engineers and cups of tea again I suspect…) and designed by James Wyatt. On the top is Ceres, the Roman Goddess of agriculture (there’s a bookshop in the town called Ceres Bookshop as well).

This site is the ‘fascinating’ (OK, it’s not that fascinating I admit) story of my travels around the world over the last few years. I’m conscious that there is so much more to visit, and I’ll do my best to carry on travelling as much as I can. I wouldn’t take anything too seriously, because I’ve rarely managed to…..

For previous adventures, here’s 2013-2018 and also 2019.
