fishfish 17 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 should you ever be in the new forest,just a couple of miles from the end of the M27 is a small insignificant monument in the forest,its called 'the Rufus stone' was erected to mark the spot where King William Rufus was shot. The inscription reads: "Here stood the Oak Tree, on which an arrow shot by Sir Walter Tyrell at a stag, glanced and struck King William the second, surnamed Rufus, on the breast, of which he instantly died, on the second day of August anno 1100." all over the south of england are places named after old tyrell,he was hunted by the kings men and fled to france. So when your next shooting deer................. be bloody carefull! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
