SUMMARY:Binsey Whimsy Walk
DESCRIPTION:A gentle walk of about half a mile to the secluded church at Binsey, where the well dedicated to St Margaret remains a symbol of the sanctity of St Frideswide, Oxford’s patron saint. Although visited for centuries by pilgrims, it had disappeared until the secret of its location was uncovered by Lewis Carroll’s colleague, the Rev. Thomas Prout. This inspiration for Carroll’s Treacle Well is just one of Binsey’s many literary associations, intertwined with its well-documented factual past. The walk will be led by experienced local historian and author Mark Davies, a trustee of the Lewis Carroll Society.\nThe walk will begin at (the sign of) The Perch.\nThe Perch has offered particippants a free drink with any main restaurant meal on the day. Walkers will need to retrace their steps, as there is no through route from the church (nor public transport) from Binsey.\nImage ©Valerie Petts\n
