Thor Stone

The Thor Stone is located just a few miles from its sisters the Hoar Stone and Hawk Stone, in the small village of Taston in the Cotswolds. It is around 7 feet tall and is placed opposite the remains of a cross. Legend has it that the God Thor sent it down as a thunderbolt.

It's taller than it looks in the photos - about seven feet tall

The cross was supposedly built to offset the "evil" of the Thor Stone
