    Saint Margaret Clitherow , her shrine that so many people walk past is a quiet haven in the lunacy of the queues for Harry Potter and
    the ghost shop . She lived in the Shambles her husband was a butcher , she was put to death for her beliefs by the regime of Elizabeth the first

      Thank you for sharing Susan. Margaret Clitherow’s story is such an important part of the history of the Shambles. It’s fascinating to think about her life in the Shambles as the wife of a butcher, and the courage she showed in standing by her beliefs, even in the face of such a tragic fate under Elizabeth I's reign. It’s a poignant reminder of the rich history that lies behind the charm of York's streets, often overlooked by those drawn to the modern attractions. Thank you for highlighting this meaningful piece of history!

    I love The Shambles. Definitely a must place to visit when in York. A visit before everything opens is worth it to see it like this, followed by a hot drink in a nearby Cafe, then back when the shops are open - be prepared that it might be very busy then 🙂

    • @thewayfarerswalk
      @thewayfarerswalk  2 місяці тому +2

      That sounds like the perfect way to experience The Shambles! 😊 A quiet morning stroll before the crowds arrive really lets you soak in the history and charm of the street. And of course, a cozy café break afterward makes it even better! You're spot on-by midday, it can get pretty busy, but that's part of its charm too. Glad you love it as much as we do! ☕️🛍️
