Pilgrims come to Waltham Cross to stand on the stone laid by Councillor K.A.Ayling, Leader of Broxbourne Council, on completion of the piazza scheme in 2007 [2]. If they look up they may also notice the plaque [1] and a stone cross erected in 1294 by Edward I to mark a resting place of the hearse carrying his first wife Eleanor of Castile.



The proximity of these two historical events is quite moving.
