EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tumultuous events of 1643 in Cheapside, London, as a passionate crowd of Puritans set out to deface the Eleanor cross, a cherished monument erected by Queen Eleanor of Castile in the 13th century. The Puritan movement, fueled by religious fervor and a desire for reform, had gained significant momentum during this period, leading to a growing tension between the Puritan community and the established Church of England. The Eleanor cross, located in the heart of London, was a symbol of the monarchy and the Catholic faith, making it a prime target for the Puritan demonstrators. With a sense of righteous indignation, they gathered in large numbers, determined to destroy the cross and erase what they saw as a relic of an outdated and corrupt regime. The scene depicted in this photograph is one of chaos and defiance, as the Puritans wield hammers and other tools to bring down the ornate stonework of the cross. The crowd, filled with a sense of purpose and unity, watches intently as the destruction unfolds. The destruction of the Eleanor cross was a significant moment in the English Civil War, marking a turning point in the conflict between the Puritans and the monarchy. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the passion and conviction that drove the Puritan movement and shaped the religious and political landscape of 17th-century England.
