From there to York town with lots of entertainments and lunch.


  Then to Pearl of York in Shambles. There comes the Saint Margaret Clitherow's house which kept as a shrine which is so hard to locate in the busy narrow Shambles. Her story is so great to read and challenge ourselves. 

Finally to Bar convent through tower bridge..to visit priest hole. The day was lovely and weather  blessed us too.
