Rufus Stone
Minstead, Lyndhurst SO43 7HN
This stone near the village of Minstead is said to mark the site of the oak tree on which an arrow shot by Sir Walter Tyrrell glanced and struck King William II (known as William Rufus), killing him instantly. Although the original oak has gone, it’s possible that the tree behind the ironclad stone is its descendant.
