Originally 12 of them, Hardingstone is one of just three surviving original Eleanor crosses, the others being just up the road at Geddington (the best preserved) and at Waltham Cross (the clue’s in the name) in Hertfordshire.

Queen Eleanor’s cross, Hardingstone, N'pton. Eleanor of Castile, died aged 49 in 1290, Wife of Edward 1st, her coffin was transported from Lincoln to Westminster (12 days) a cross was erected at each stopping point.

Three of the medieval monuments – those at Geddington, Hardingstone and Waltham Cross – survive more or less intact; but the other nine, other than a few fragments, are lost

I think there are only about 3 surviving these days. We had been to Salcey Forest and son insisted on a detour to see the one at Hardingstone.

#MedievalMonday Eleanor Cross from Hardingstone, Northants. Queen Eleanor of Castile died in 1290 in Nottinghamshire and her husband King Edward I arranged for crosses to be built where the funeral procession stopped overnight on its way to London.

This is the best preserved, but there are two more. Hardingstone on the edge of Northampton, grander than this but a bit more restored. Then Waltham Cross, almost entirely renewed.

By the side of the A508, it was easy to spot the Eleanor Cross - from my post following the route taken by Eleanor's body in 1290 through Hardingstone, Stony Stratford, Woburn and Dunstable at alondoninheritance.com/cycli…

Deus Vult Saturday ✝️ (A Valentines history special) The Eleanor crosses, built between 1291-1295 by Edward I in memory of his beloved wife Eleanor of Castile. Edward & Eleanor married in 1254, by all accounts it was a very happy & faithful marriage, they were rarely ever apart. She accompanied him on numerous campaigns including the 9th Crusade where Edward I was nearly killed by an assassin, He killed the assassin but not before he was struck with a poisoned dagger, it is said that Eleanor sucked the poison from the wound. The couple had between 14-16 children, although not many would survive to adulthood. They were married for 36 years until she died of an illness at the age of 49 during a tour & Edward was at her bedside. He was devastated by this loss & in a letter to the abbot of Cluny in France he wrote, “whom in life we dearly cherished, and whom in death we cannot cease to love”. In his grief he constructed 12 elaborate stone monuments known as the Eleanor Crosses, marking the resting places of her funeral procession from Lincoln to Westminster Abbey in London, where she was buried. Only 3 of these crossings survive today at Geddington, Hardingstone & Waltham as the others were destroyed in the Reformation & the English Civil War. Edward I re-married in 1299 but the death of Eleanor still affected him, he was known for his fiery temper & increased cruelty during his latter years, sacking Scottish towns & violently executing Nobles.

Comprendo lo que apuntas, pero también es cierto que quedan tres originales, que son las de Geddington, Hardingstone y Waltham Cross, a las que vendría bien que se hicieran más caso en términos de conservación. Además, hay fragmentos como los de Lincoln que deberían ser más estudiados. Y alguno que otro que huele a XIX que no debería considerarse como verídico...

I went with Rocket and Loz to The Sun Inn at Hardingstone. A rather decent boozer. 🍻
