Summary
| Description |
English: Alne Cross
Probably the stump of a medieval cross, it found later use as a plague stone. Commercial transactions took place here to quarantine the village. Goods were left here and payment placed in the trough on the left, probably in vinegar or other liquid believed to protect against infection. (Knowledge of the causes of infectious disease was at least 200 years in the future.)
Français : Probable vestige d'une croix au pied de laquelle se trouve une pierre évidée qui contenait de l'eau ou au mieux du vinaigre où les victimes de la peste jetaient de l'argent en échange de la nourriture déposée là à leur intention |
