There are two limestone crosses in Fishlake village , each of which has the base and a portion of the shaft still remaining . possibly , these late medieval crosses have taken the place of earlier Anglo Saxon ones .Two theories exist as to their purpose. One, that they were preaching crosses marking the spot where the bones of St Cuthbert rested. The other that they were market crosses . The evidence is uncertain, but if Fishlake had a weekly market it had certainly disappeared by the 16th century.
