| Description |
This came out nice. This was taken with the 18-55mm lens that came with the camera. Information board.. King Edgar (959 - 75) granted this derelict land to thirteen knights on condition that they each perform three duels, one on land, one below ground, one on the water. These feats having been achieved, the king gave the knights, or cnihtengild, certain rights over a piece of land 'from Aldgate to the place where the bars now are, toward the east, on both sides of the lane, and extended it towards the gate now known as Bishopsgate in the north, to the house of William the Priest ... and to the south to the Thames as far as a horseman riding into the river at low tide can throw a lance'. This sculpture by Denys Mitchell, commissioned by the Standard Life Assurance Company, commemorates the cnihtengild and was unveiled by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Sir Alexander Graham GBE DCL on 21st November 1990. |
