Paul's Cross

Inscription

{Inscribed on the stone at the centre of this octagonal paving arrangement:}
Here stood Paul's Cross

Site: Paul's Cross and the Richards family (2 memorials)

EC4, St Paul's Churchyard

Seems the Richards family slightly missed the spot with their elaborate art nouveau erection. The simple hexagon can just be seen in our picture, in the foreground paving, to the right of the lady photographing a squirrel.

Londonist drew our attention to a 3D animation of the medieval St Paul's church and Paul's Cross.
