<\/a>\nI crossed into the city and found my way via the canal basin at Diglis Top Lock on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, back to the Severn Way. On the way into the city I’d been wondering what it might have been like to have been a pilgrim walking into Worcester before the Reformation.

\nWe had some lunch at the cafe in the cloister before visiting the cathedral. Amongst the memorials I was glad to see there was one to Geoffrey Anketell Studdert Kennedy, also known as Woodbine Willie, a Chaplain to the forces in WW1. He had served as a priest in a church in the Worcester diocese before the war.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nBob accompanied me out of the city to the footbridge that enables the Severn Way to cross to the other bank. It was a good path on the whole, close to the river, through small patches of woodland and lined with wild flowers but nowhere near as wet as the last two days.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nBob met me at a riverside pub beside the river and we had a drink before continuing by road to Grimley church to rejoin the Severn Way there again tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\nGive me my scallop shell of of quiet,
\nMy staff of faith to walk upon,
\nMy scrip of joy, immortal diet,
\nMy bottle of salvation,
\nMy gown of glory, hope\u2019s true gauge,
\nAnd thus I\u2019ll take my pilgrimage.<\/i><\/p>\n
