Those of us bloggers with an Oxford connection seem to be very busy today honouring the feast day of St Frideswide. In his virtually inimitable way Fr Hunwicke brings an illuminating vignette from the past to life in his post about Queen Catherine of Aragon seeking the intercession of St Frideswide in 1518.
His post can be seen at A Royal Visit, which might have changed History.
The base for the shrine of St Frideswide as restored to its original position in recent years in Christ Church
Cathedral. To the right can be seen the watching loft to supervise the safety of the chapel and relics.
