Emwell Cross And The Obelisk, Warminster
John Halliday, in a hardback exercise book he titled Warminster Notes, in which he compiled various handwritten notes about Warminster and district for local history slide shows he was giving during the 1980s, penned the following:
The Obelisk. Erected 1782 with some surplus funds remaining to the Commissioners for the inclosure of waste and open lands. The stones of the base may well be from the older Emwell Cross which stood in a market place here and may even have attracted the first markets to this spot. [Emwell Cross] may have been a memorial, market, preaching, weeping, boundary or sanctuary cross, or a combination of two or more of these.
