Four Shire Stone, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire: A Snapshot of Historical Boundaries This evocative photograph captures the Four Shire Stone near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, a historic landmark that once marked the meeting point of four English counties: Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire. The image, believed to have been taken around 1908, showcases a man and a boy standing on opposite sides of the stone pillar, their bicycles parked nearby. The Four Shire Stone, a simple yet significant marker, has been a popular tourist attraction since the 19th century. Its unique location, where three counties converge, has made it a symbol of the rich geographical history of the region. The stone, which stands approximately 1.5 meters high, is made of limestone and bears the coat of arms of the four counties. However, following boundary changes in 1931, Worcestershire was no longer among the counties meeting at the stone. Regardless, the Four Shire Stone continues to be a reminder of the historical significance of the area and the intricate web of geographical boundaries that have shaped the landscape of England. This photograph, with its timeless quality, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 1900s and inviting us to reflect on the ever-changing world around us.
