A Brief History of Waltham Cross
History of Waltham Cross Eleanor Monument The resting place of Queen Eleanor during her funeral procession was known as Waltham and the location was already known to Edward l as he, like former kings, hunted in Waltham Forest. The abbey was built 350 years earlier, during the reign of King Harold. When Edward died at Burgh on The Sands in Cumbria his body was kept at the Abbey for five weeks before its interment at Westminster Abbey in London. It is believed that the location chosen for the monument was a hamlet a mile away from Waltham. It was a main road at a crossroad point where travellers would be able to view it from several directions. In 1720, Stamford Vicar William Stukeley, made a drawing of the monument at Waltham Cross and presented it to the newly founded Society of Antiquaries. They undertook works to protect it from the increasing traffic. In 1795, Sir George Prescott tried to have it moved to Theobalds Park, but failed after official intervention. The first major restoration took place in 1833 by WB Clark, but these improvements lasted just 50 years and further work was required in the 1880s. Eleanor Cross Road was bombed during World War Two, and although the monument didn’t suffer a direct hit it was damaged by the resulting tremors. Following the war, in 1950 a major restoration took place. The statutes were relocated briefly to Cheshunt library and for a time they were stored in Cedars Park conservatory before being loaned long term to the Victoria and Albert Museum for safe keeping. -

Attracting around 2 million The newly refurbished Cha Cafe visitors a year, Cassiobury Park’s historic importance was recognised in 1999 when it entered at Grade II in the English Heritage’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Historical Interest.

Set into the landscape the Hub is finished with striking CorTen weathered steel cladding and features a cafe, exhibition rooms, educational facilities, changing facilities for the nearby sports pitches, toilets and office space for park staff.

WHERE GATES ONCE STOOD by Ian Welland
WHERE GATES ONCE STOOD By Ian Welland William Cross lit his lantern and bid a passer-by good day. ‘You take care now Jack, these nights are drawing in fast.’ ‘You too Will. See you at the Tantivy?’ ‘Not tonight; his Lordship wants me to keep watch on some poachers over at Grove Mill.’ William noticed the warm autumnal feel that had dominated September, had been firmly replaced by a rasping air that was seasonally moving the park toward winter’s veil. The leaves, golden and crimson, were now felled. The ground, inky and damp. William pulled his thick collar up around his neck and tucked his scarf securely into his coat. Making his way to the small gates on the far side of the park, he called to a stranger gazing from the bandstand toward the River Gade. ‘Sir, time to take your leave. If you want Watford Met, I’m about to close the small gates.’ ‘No thank you Watchman,’ said the stranger. ‘For I seek lodgings in town.’ ‘In that case, I will come by and light your way to the ramparts.’ After securely locking the small gates, William made good his promise to the stranger by lighting their path toward the triumphant castle-esque rampart gates that led to the town. ‘These gates were put ‘ere when Great Britain joined Ireland in an act of union. ‘Tis said that King George himself admired these gates; so much so, he wanted a similar archway for Buckingham Palace.’ William chuckled. ‘Probably old wives tale, but I like it.’ ‘They are magnificent,’ said the stranger. -
