Charing Cross

Agas Map

Charing Cross was one of twelve memorial crosses erected by King Edward I in memory of his wife, Eleanor of Castile. The cross was builded of stone and was of old time a fayre péece of work (Stow 1598, sig. 2B3r). It stood for three and a half centuries, but by the beginning of the 17th century [the cross] had fallen into a very ruinous condition (Sugden). It, as well as the other crosses, was condemned in 1643 and demolished in 1647.
