Image description

From Chronicle of the Civil War Puritans demolished the Westcheap Eleanor Cross with its statues of the Pope and Virgin Mary in May 1643 under an ordinance from the Parliamentary Committee for the Demolition of Monuments of Superstition and Idolatry, led by Sir Robert Harley. Later that day, the public executioner burnt a copy of The Declaration of Sports, issued by James I in 1618, and reissued by Charles I in 1633. It listed the sports and recreations that were permitted on Sundays and holy days.
