SOMERTON.—The latest of all the Market Crosses, date 1673, 
time of Charles II. Architecture not so beautiful as earlier ones, 
but carved gargoyles are very grotesque, and it has a tiled roof. 
Ball on top, in place of Cross. 
Other Market Crosses were at 
BRIDGWATER, 
AXBRIDGE, 
but have disappeared some years. 
CONCLUSION. 
I feel this is a poor attempt to draw attention to interesting 
relics, now about to pass away through neglect, and the Paper 
is incomplete without many more illustrations than the Publisher 
and space will permit ; but if I succeed in rousing those in 
charge of the various localities where these stones are to be found, 
to make some attempt to preserve them as much as possible 
in their present condition, my effort will not have been without 
its reward.
