Beating of the bounds

Occuring
for 3 hours
Venue
Pishill (dedication unknown)
Address
Church Hill Pishill Henley-on-Thames, RG9 6HJ, United Kingdom

Do come and join us for a sociable walk around the parish boundary! ‘ Beating the Bounds’ is an ancient custom when maps were rare to make a formal walk around the boundaries of the Parish, led by the Parish Priest on Ascension Day or during Rogation week.
The day will start at Pishill Church at 9.30am, where the Priest, Mark Ainsworth, will say a prayer before we set off. The walk will take us to Maidensgrove and then end in Stonor Park, around 9Km and 3 hours later.

Please RSVP to Jules Barton so we can have a rough idea of numbers, and do contact me with any questions [email protected]
