Researched and created by
The ABCD Heritage Project/Walking for Health
A short guide to the heritage of the All Saints' area (that
approximately coincides with the very large Parish of All Saints'
Church). It was an ancient English and Welsh tradition that the
Vicar, Churchwardens and Choir, plus members of the Congregation,
would progress around the perimeters of their Parishes stopping at
strategic points to beat these with canes - known as 'Beating the
Bounds' this was designed to instil a mental map of the Parish in
the days when printed maps were rare. This trail provides a
suggested route for a twenty first century tour of the 'Bounds',
highlighting some lesser known heritage sites along the way. |
