PLEASE WATCH this fantabulous documentary close the pavement. Bear inward hear that the icon I convey chosen is merely a detail.)
The pavement was position downwards inward 1268 past times lodge of King Henry III who had started re-building St Edward the Confessor’s Abbey inward the novel Gothic manner inward 1245. The workmen came from Rome, alongside a human being called Odoricus at their head. It is 24 feet ten inches (7 metres 58 centimetres) square, alongside dimensions calculated inward Roman feet, together with consists of geometrical patterns built upwardly from pieces of rock of unlike colours together with sizes cutting into a diversity of shapes: triangles, squares, circles, rectangles together with many others. The basic layout is a four-fold symmetry, but inward special the variations are endless. No ii roundels are the same. Of the iv "orbiting" roundels 1 is circular, 1 hexagonal, 1 heptagonal together with 1 octagonal. The infill patterns are all different.
The inscriptions that accompanied the design, straightaway damaged, read inward part: "If the reader wisely considers all that is position down, he volition detect hither the halt of the primum mobile" and "The spherical public hither shows the archetypal macrocosm."
The circular rock at the centre contains colours representing the iv elements. It is on this rock that every Rex or queen of England was crowned. [See too here.]
