The Cheapside Cross - A Glimpse into London's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by an unknown artist in the 19th century, takes us back to a significant moment in London's history. The image showcases "The Cheapside Cross" a monument that once stood proudly in the heart of the city but was tragically demolished in May 1643. The cross, depicted here against the backdrop of bustling London streets, holds immense historical and cultural significance. Erected during the early 17th century, it served as a symbol of faith and unity for Londoners. Its intricate design and towering presence made it an iconic landmark within the cityscape. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are transported to a time when England was undergoing great political turmoil. The mid-17th century marked the height of religious tensions between Protestants and Catholics, leading to widespread destruction of religious symbols across the country. Despite its demise over two centuries prior to this photograph being taken, "The Cheapside Cross" remains etched in our collective memory as a testament to London's rich heritage. This image serves as both a visual reminder of what once was and an invitation for reflection on how history shapes our present-day landscape. Thanks to Hilary Morgan's skillful photography, we can appreciate not only the architectural beauty of this lost monument but also gain insight into life during that era. It is through such images that we connect with our past and deepen our understanding of how cities like London have evolved over time. Let us cherish these glimpses into history preserved through artistry like this remarkable print – reminding us that even though physical structures may crumble or be demolished, their stories endure forever.
