[edit]DescriptionFulford Cross, York - geograph.org.uk - 1744943.jpg |
English: Fulford Cross, York The sign just off the picture to the left has the following inscription:
"This structure is the lower section of a medieval standing cross. Standing crosses were built for various purposes including marking boundaries, battlegrounds and meeting places for preaching, proclamation and religious processions. Fulford Cross may have been erected in 1484 as a boundary marker, when the City reached an agreement with St. Mary's Abbey over rights to common pasture in Fulford. Less than 2,000 medieval standing crosses, with or without cross-heads are now thought to exist in England. Fulford Cross is a protected Scheduled Ancient Monument" Further references to Fulford Cross can be seen at: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22999 or http://www.historyofyork.org.uk/themes/tudor-stuart/the-pilgrimage-of-grace To the left of a the picture is two supermarkets, they are built on the site of a former Tram Station, pictures of the Tram station can be seen at: http://mobile.yorkpress.co.uk/features/history/756257.Trams_past_and_ftr/ The building on the right hand side of the picture is Imphal Barracks, more details about the barracks can be found on: http://www.army.mod.uk/signals/organisation/7581.aspx |
