A very special cross

 

It's hard to imagine that London was bombed so extensively during the Second World War. And yet, there are little reminders everywhere, such as this inlaid cross in the grounds of Christ Church in Southwark. Every time I walk past it, and read the little plaque nearby, I can feel the goosebumps erupt on my skin.

On 17th April 1941
Christchurch was set on fire
by enemy action and the
church cross fell in flames
on this spot.
These stones mark where
the grass was scorched
by the burning cross
