The Poultry Cross, often referred to as Salisbury Market Cross, is a medieval 14th-century market cross in the heart of Salisbury. It was originally part of the town's market facilities and marked the area of the poultry market. It is the only one of the city's four historic market crosses to have survived to this day.
