EDITORS COMMENTS
1. London Stone - Cannon Street: A Historical Marker in the Heart of London The London Stone, located in the wall of St Swithin's Church at Cannon Street, is a celebrated historical artifact that has intrigued scholars and visitors alike for centuries. The exact origin of this ancient stone is shrouded in mystery, but it is believed to have played a significant role in the Roman occupation of Britain. During the Roman era, the London Stone served as a marker for measuring distances. The Romans calculated their distances using this stone as a reference point, making it an essential component of their administrative and logistical systems. The stone's iron grille, which can still be seen today, may have been added to protect it from damage or theft. Despite its ancient origins, the London Stone has survived the test of time. It has been moved several times throughout history, including during the medieval period when it was believed to have protective powers against invading forces. In the 19th century, the stone was discovered during construction work and was moved to its current location in St Swithin's Church. St Swithin's Church, which dates back to the 11th century, is named after Saint Swithin, the patron saint of London. The church is a significant historical site in its own right, and the London Stone adds to its rich history and intrigue. The London Stone is a reminder of London's rich history and its connections to the Roman Empire. It is a testament to the city's enduring past and its ability to preserve its historical treasures for future generations to appreciate. Whether you are a history buff or simply a curious traveler, the London Stone is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting London.
