As I recall, Teggie Ottley Barker Krause (Fred H group) was interested in the series of 12 crosses which English King Edward I (1239-1307) caused to be erected at the end of each stage of the funeral procession of his Spanish wife Queen Eleanor (d. 1290) from Nottinghamshire to Westminster Abbey in London.

The last cross was at Charing Cross, now a well-known London railway station site.

Was this an Ottley connection, or did this Royal Line come through her mother Abigail Lewis Ottley?

(Horrid pun – Royal Line at the Railway Station!)
