St Chads Cathedral

This reminds me of a time, about 20 years ago, when the Women' Day of Prayer (held annually) was held at my church. The only men expected to be present were the Parish Priest and his assistant, me. One man, who accompanied his wife, thought he should be there but was told, by some of the ladies that he was surplus to requirements, or words to that effect and he promptly left. Incidentally there is a Birmingham connection as that has been his home town. :)

There are several small altars in the crypt as well as the ones in the cathedtal
But I have never heard about the spring - will ask at work if anyone knows
