  • The Boarhunt Yew, sat beside the Saxon church. Legend tells us of a Medieval familynwith nowhere else to go who were permitted to stay in this Yew tree for a winter, with a leather cape above to keep out the rain. Church accommodation goes way back, and has always been flexible! #pilgrimage #oldway

  • In Titchfield St Peter’s (the oldest church in Hampshire) is the grave of the Earl of Southampton - the ‘fair youth’ who was William Shakespeare’s patron and possible lover, described by Shakespeare ‘the master-mistress of my passion’. The Third Earl - Henry Wriothsley (pronounced Rizlee) is more famous locally for blocking the mouth of the River Meon, ending Titchfield’s once famous international trade. Locals still burn his effigy every year on Nov 5th. On the Old Way pilgrimage to Canterbury. #oldway #pilgrimage #journey #story #england #path #walk #outdoor #seek #wholesome #history
