Restored in 1865 by G. G. Scott, the Buttercross is now a protected structure under the Town Country Planning Act and is listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Its impressive array of twelve figures includes representations of various saints and notable historical figures, reflecting the rich heritage of Winchester.
