About this spot
The present 52ft high cross was erected in 1859 to commemorate the marriage of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter and Princess Royal, Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa. Within the cross itself stand statues erected in 1914, of Queen Victoria, Edward VII and George V to celebrate his coronation 1911. An engraving features the different arms of the town throughout its history, along with the town’s motto ‘Dominus nobis sol et scutum’ (The Lord is our Sun and Shield). Closer to the top are the coats of arms of prominent people connected with the history of Banbury.
