West Burton Obelisk
The West Burton Obelisk is a historic structure in West Burton, North Yorkshire, a village in England.
The obelisk was constructed in 1820, on the village green. It is often described as being a market cross, but there is no record of a market ever having been held in the village. It is possible that it may have been used as a preaching cross. The structure was restored in 1889, when its top was replaced by a ball and weathervane, the old top being incorporated into a barn. The obelisk was Grade II listed in 1952.
The octagonal obelisk is built of stone, a mixture of rubble, stone slabs, and ashlar. It resembles a church spire, set on a base of five steps. Part way up is a band with a carved Maltese cross, and the dates of erection and restoration, and at the top is a ball finial and a weathervane.
