Bringing “Sir Adam” Back to Church
The big project of 2019 was our Walk with Sir Adam, where we all fell in love with Frank but then got hopelessly lost without ghosts and ghoulies to transport us magically back to St Jerome’s. If that doesn’t ring a bell, we re-enacted the story of St Jerome’s founder Sir Adam de la Roche, buried at Roche castle against his wishes, but who then appeared magically back in Llangwm not once but several times. His story ended relatively happily when the ghosts and ghoulies at Roch rose up to transport him once and for all to his preferred resting place. We didn’t go quite that far, but did manage to take Sir Adam, slung over the back of Frank the Horse the 13 miles from Roch to Llangwm, where he magically transformed himself to join in the Scarecrow Festival.
So, bright and early on June 29th saw a band of medieval costumed pilgrims gathering at Roch where they were fed and watered by the kind souls at the Roch Castle Hotel. Frank and his carer, Kari, set us all an example, finding their way back to Llangwm while the rest of us got to know the paths and byways of Little Milford rather better than we’d intended. All ended happily however with a slap-up medieval feast in the evening.
