Summary
| Description |
English: City of London: London Stone It is a shame it is so ill-lit indeed stumbling upon this curiosity it was not easy even to see in the chamber with the naked eye, until bending down to observe the better lit top of the stone.
The plaque reads: This is a fragment of the original piece of limestone once securely fixed in the ground now fronting Cannon Street Station. Removed in 1742 to the north side of the street, in 1798 it was built into the south side of the Church of St. Swithun London Stone which stood here until demolished in 1962. Its origin and purpose are unknown but in 1188 there was a reference to Henry, son of Eylwin de Londenstane, subsequently Lord Mayor of London.Español: La "Piedra de Londres" en el centro de Londres. Es una pena que este vestigio del pasado se encuentre tan mal iluminado ; apreciar esta curiosidad en la cámara no es fácil, y para observar mejor, hay que agacharse hasta ver iluminada la parte superior de la piedra. En la placa puede leerse la siguiente inscripción: Este es un fragmento de una obra romana original, una piedra caliza que en su momento se encontraba firmemente fijada al suelo, y que luego fuera exhibida al frente de la estación de Cannon Street. Desplazada en 1742 al lado norte de la calle, en 1798 se la integró al lado sur de la iglesia "Piedra de Londres" de St. Swithun, y quedó allí hasta que los restos de la iglesia fueron demolidos en 1962. Se desconoce el origen y propósito de este símbolo, pero en 1188 hubo una referencia a Henry, hijo de Eylwin de Londenstane, quien posteriormente fuera alcalde de Londres. |
