Description
Rufus Stone is a monument commemorating the death of King William II. It was originally erected in 1745 by the Earl De La Warr and encased in 1841 by Sturges Bourne. The monument features a standing tapering pillar with a square section and raised rounded corners and top, with inscriptions on each face. It marks the supposed spot where an arrow glanced off an oak tree, killing William Rufus in 1100. The stone is encased in cast iron.
