Wing Turf Maze (The Old Maze)

This 50-foot diameter, 11-circuit medieval labyrinth at Wing in Rutland shares its exact design with Chartres Cathedral's famous floor labyrinth — one of only two known English examples of the Chartres pattern. The connection suggests a direct medieval transmission of labyrinth knowledge from French cathedral builders to English parish communities. Rutland, England's smallest historic county, contains disproportionate archaeological wealth for its size. At 323.37° Giza bearing, the Wing maze lies on the East Midlands alignment corridor. The shared Chartres design across 400 km of the English Channel represents one of sacred geometry's most documented cases of pattern replication across cultural boundaries.
