The Saints of Woking

It's time for one more entry about my day out with Marion. I've already written about our visits to Newlands Corner, Shere, and Guildford. Our next stop requires a bit of background. Earlier this month I wrote about St Dunstan's Chorus, which performed in St Dunstan's Church. Behind its altar are the 4 patron saints of Woking's earliest churches still standing today. From left to right we have...



St Lawrence (Chobham),



St Peter (Old Woking),



St Nicholas (Pyrford),



and St Edward (Sutton Park).



I had walked to 3 of the 4 churches back in September as part of Heritage Open Days. (See "The Road Less Traveled" and "Blame it on the Postcard," both from 11 September.) That left only St Lawrence's in Chobham, so that is where we went.



Our final stop was at Marion's church - St Paul's - where a prayer center with various stations had been set up in the sanctuary for Holy Week. It was a nice way to end a wonderful day. Thanks, Marion!
