Already, The Cross is showing signs of congestion, but for the time being people still feel relaxed enough to linger in groups chatting - The Cross was traditionally a meeting place.
The bare chalk in this view of the Whiteleaf Cross is nowadays not seen so clearly; the downs have since become covered in trees and scrub, with woods in the middle distant field.
The cross is not a war
memorial but was erected
in 1897 for Queen Victoria's
diamond jubilee, with an
inscription added for her
golden jubilee ten years before.
