THIS IS ST ANNE'S WELL OR VIRTUOUS WELL, IN TRELLECH, MONMOUTHSHIRE. IT IS BELIEVED THAT IT HAD BEEN A SIGNIFICANT HOLY WELL FOR MANY CENTURIES BEFORE 1680. IN MEDIEVAL TIMES, IT WAS COMMON FOR PILGRIMS TO TIE STRIPS OF CLOTH TO NEARBY TREES, A TRADITION WHICH SEEMS TO CONTINUE TODAY.
THE TOMB OF KING EDWARD II AT GLOUCESTER CATHEDRAL. BORN AT CAERNARFON CASTLE IN 1284, DIED AT BERKELEY CASTLE 1327, HE WAS THE FIRST ENGLISH PRINCE TO HOLD THE TITLE, PRINCE OF WALES. THE TOMB WAS COMMISSIONED BY EDWARD III IN THE 1330s AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY VISITED BY THOUSANDS OF PILGRIMS OVER THE YEARS, INCLUDING KING RICHARD II IN 1378.
