Eleanor |
Alice follows Eleanor of Castile’s funeral cortege of December of 1290 from Harby in Notts to Lincoln Cathedral and then to London. She does it at the same time of year. The bereaved Edward I has constructed masonry crosses at each overnight stopping point although only a few have survived the Civil War. Alice notes various points of historical interest along the way. Very entertaining.
