EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of destruction as the Cheapside Cross, a once-proud symbol of London's religious and civic life, is brought down by the relentless forces of the Parliamentarian army during the English Civil War in 1643. The cross, which had stood at the heart of the bustling commercial district of Cheapside for centuries, had become a potent symbol of royal oppression in the eyes of the Puritan population. The scene is one of chaos and intensity, as a large crowd gathers to witness the event. The cross, a towering structure adorned with intricate carvings and ornate decorations, is surrounded by soldiers in armor, their determined expressions set against the backdrop of the ruined edifice. The cross itself appears defiant in its final moments, its gilded figure of Eleanor, the Virgin Mary, still gazing down upon the crowd with a serene expression. The destruction of the Cheapside Cross was a pivotal moment in the conflict between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians, marking the beginning of the end for the monarchy's hold on London. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the tumultuous political and religious upheavals of the 17th century, and the profound impact they had on the people of London and beyond.
