I did check out and realized that I was in Oxford for a very short time of 2
hours. I took a photo of the Radcliffe Camera (I managed only a partial view).
Then I looked at the Rotunda Photo Giles put up at the Unofficial Olympus
Gallery.
This structure reminds me something else I have seen in England. I located a
photo of the structure in my Salisbury file. Giles' Rotunda looks similar to
the Poultry Cross in Salisbury. It is not exactly like it, but according to my
information, there are four remaining market crosses in England (I presume,
rather than the whole UK). The Poultry Cross is one of them. You can look at
the Poultry Cross at the following:

Perhaps somebody else can identify other market crosses.
There may have been other market crosses in Salisbury. The Poultry Cross, which
I saw and walked inside the hexagonal structure, looked to be the oldest.
