St Margaret Clitheroe


There is a narrow lane in York known as "The Shambles", which is where, in mediaeval times, the butchers plied their trade. Half-way along on the right is a doorway leading into the house (and shrine) of St Margaret Clitheroe. This is her story.

I would love to have finished the film with a picture of her hand, but its guardians appear to fear that taking a photograph will adversely affect the relic's "mana", so though I have seen it, you can't.
