The last of the medieval north London Marian shrines on the itinerary is that of Our Lady of Muswell. I wrote about this chapel and its associated well, or wells, last year in Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Muswell
Since I created that my attention has been drawn to an informative website which gives more details about how the site was safeguarded on the eve of the dissolution and the subsequent history of the wells. This can be seen at An Island of Clerkenwell - Notes on the Chapel and Well of Our Lady of Muswell: Connolly & Bloom
The healing properties of the water at Muswell were believed to have wrought a cure for King Malcolm IV of Scots in the mid-twelfth century.
Our Lady of Muswell pray for The King and The Queen and for us all.
