An early 17th century stone milestone from James I’s Theobalds Park wall, displayed upright in Cedars Park. The rectangular stone has a rounded top and carved numbering on its face, weathered but still legible. It once formed part of a series of milestones set into the nine mile brick wall that enclosed the king’s hunting park.

This pic shows a milestone from the nine mile brick wall that once enclosed James I’s extraordinary hunting park at Theobalds in Hertfordshire. Now preserved in Cedars Park, it’s one of the last remaining markers of the king’s vast estate. For more, visit: www.herts.ac.uk/uhpress/book... #Stuarts
