Tickhill buttercross is at the junction of the Bawty, Rotherham and Doncaster roads in the middle of the village of Tickhill.

A buttercross is a sort of market cross dating from medieval times. It is a standard cross, but with the addition of circular steps at the bottom. Local producers of milk, eggs and butter would bring their wares here to sell. They would lay them out on the steps at the base of the cross.

Some buttercrosses have a roof over the top to protect the sellers and their goods from the weather. This one also has a rather nice weathervane on top too.

Seating Type: No Seating Location: Off the side of a road. Materials Used: Stone Other Material Used: Not listed
