On Monday 9th May the Rt Revd Sarah Bullock, Bishop of Shrewsbury, lead a group of pilgrims past Holy Trinity School after calling at some of the churches in Oswestry.  Bishop Sarah took part in a 70-mile pilgrimage from Holywell, Wales, to Shrewsbury Abbey along the revived St Winefride Trail starting in April and ending in May.The pilgrimage started from where St Winefride lived in the 7th century in Holywell.

St Winefride was a young woman who had her head chopped off by a selfish prince named Caradoc after saying no to marrying him. Miraculously Winifred was healed and she came back to life but a red scar around her neck was left for the rest of her days.

We  invited the pilgrims  into our school where they were met by our school council members and a number of Christian values champions and given a tour around our school. They then headed to our library to have refreshments and a selection of our students were invited to talk to the group of pilgrims.
