EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Eleanor Cross in Northampton. The pencil drawing, skillfully crafted by the talented William Alexander (d. 1815), captures the intricate details and grandeur of this medieval masterpiece. Standing proudly on London Road in Hardingstone, Northampton, this iconic cross is a testament to the rich heritage and architectural brilliance of its time. The artwork, now carefully preserved within the collection of C G Harper at Historic England Archive, offers us a glimpse into a bygone era. Its fine lines and delicate shading bring to life every stone and curve of this magnificent structure. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back centuries ago when such crosses were erected as memorials for Queen Eleanor of Castile. The Eleanor Cross stands tall with an air of elegance and grace that has stood the test of time. It serves as a reminder not only of its historical significance but also as an inspiration for future generations to appreciate and cherish our cultural heritage. This print from Historic England allows us to marvel at this extraordinary workmanship from afar while reminding us that there is so much more waiting to be discovered within our own towns and cities. Let it serve as an invitation for all who view it – step into history's embrace and explore the wonders that lie just beyond our doorstep.
