Royse Stone, located at the crossroads of ancient thoroughfares Ermine Street and Icknield Way, is a historical landmark in Royston, England. This site features the Roisia Stone, believed to be the base of a cross erected in honor of Lady Roisia, which has given the town its name since the 14th century.
In addition to its rich history, Royston is notable for its connection to King James I, who established a hunting lodge in the area in the early 17th century. The town also commemorates its servicemen through various war memorials, including a prominent monument dedicated to those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
