The Shrine of St Wite.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LOCAL HISTORY?
WHY NOT CHECK OUT OUR LOCAL CHURCH FOR THE SHRINE OF ST WITE

The Shrine of St Wite (Whitchurch Canonicorum)

Dating from the early 13th Century, this unique shrine in the church is said to have healing powers and is a place of pilgrimage for many. Wonderful to say that after 1000 years St Wite is still exercising her ancient role as helper of the sick. The only other intact pre-reformation shrine is in Westminster Abbey.
