EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Banbury Cross in Oxfordshire, England, as it stood in the 1950s, a time when the historical landmark had been restored after being destroyed over three centuries prior. The Banbury Cross, as described in the beloved nursery rhyme "Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross," once bore the inscription "half way up the town, a gallows stands," a grim reminder of its past as a site of public executions. However, it was the Puritans who ultimately brought about its demise in 1642, during their campaign to eradicate symbols of Catholicism and paganism. The cross, which originally dated back to the 15th century, was rebuilt in the 1850s, but this photograph captures the version that stood proudly in the mid-20th century. The spire of St. Mary's Church, which stands nearby, can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of history and tradition that pervades the scene. The road leading up to the cross is lined with trees, creating a picturesque tableau that belies the dark past of this once-infamous landmark. Today, the Banbury Cross stands as a memorial to the town's rich history and its enduring connection to the past. Visitors from around the world come to pay their respects and take in the beauty of this iconic symbol of Oxfordshire. As you gaze upon this photograph, it's easy to imagine the horse and rider of the nursery rhyme making their way to the cross, a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of history.
