More about this scene

Carperby had held a market around its tapered, seven-stepped Market Cross from the 14th century, but it fell into disuse when Askrigg market took over in 1587. But Carperby's market was revived in the 17th century, and the present Market Cross, erected in 1674, dates from that time.
