Helmsley Market Cross
Helmsley Market Cross is a historic structure in Helmsley, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. Helmsley was granted a borough charter in 1191, which gave it permission to host a weekly market. A local tradition states that a market cross was first erected in the churchyard of All Saints' Church, but if the market did start there, it soon flowed into what is now the marketplace, and the cross now stands in the middle of that square. The square continues to host a weekly market, and for the remainder of the week is used as a car park. The cross was grade II listed in 1955. The market cross is built of sandstone. It consists of an octagonal shaft with a cross on a square pedestal with six steps. The head of the cross was replaced in the 19th century.

Pedestal
A pedestal or plinth is a support at the bottom of a statue, vase, column, or certain altars. Smaller pedestals, especially if round in shape, may be called socles. In civil engineering, it is also called ''basement''. The minimum height of the plinth is usually kept as 45 cm (for buildings). It transmits loads from superstructure to the substructure and acts as the retaining wall for the filling inside the plinth or raised floor. In sculpting, the terms base, plinth, and pedestal are defined according to their subtle differences. A base is defined as a large mass that supports the sculpture from below. A plinth is defined as a flat and planar support which separates the sculpture from the environment. A pedestal, on the other hand, is defined as a shaft-like form that raises the sculpture and separates it from the base. An elevated pedestal or plinth that bears a statue, and which is raised from the substructure supporting it (typically roofs or corniches), is some ...
