Description
In 1290, Queen Eleanor of Castile died whilst on a royal visit to Harby in Nottinghamshire. Although their marriage was as was typical of the time of strategic importance, King Edward I and Queen Eleanor were devoted to each other. Eleanors funeral cortège headed south, and Edward I had a stone memorial erected in each place the cortège rested overnight. Of the original twelve, three remain Geddington, Hardingstone and Waltham Cross. Todays visit is to the eponymous Waltham Cross, as the cortège rested at nearby Waltham Abbey before finishing at Westminster Abbey.
