Crediton St Boniface Heritage Trail guided walks with storyteller and actors -FREE OF CHARGE!
Listen, walk and watch as the amazing story of Devon’s patron Saint and ‘the greatest Englishman’ unfolds. Revealed in eight beautiful and specially designed 2 metre high stained glass street-windows set around Boniface’s home town. This gentle 1-hour guided walk with a storyteller and actors from Crediton’s celebrated Brown paper Bag Theatre company tells the stages of his life from his birth in Crediton in 680 AD, his education in Exeter, his teaching near Southampton and his inspiring life-mission in what is now Germany, France and the Netherlands, where he was martyred in 754 AD.
The guided walk dates are:
- Saturday May 14th, 11 am
- Saturday May 21st, 11am
