		The story, immortalized in the iconography of St. Werburgh, relates that by a simple command she banished a flock of wild geese that was working havoc in the cornfields of Weedon, and that since then none of these birds has been seen in those parts.

	St Werburgh's Safer Streets Project - 9. Final Words
		St Werburgh's undoubtedly experiences a displacement overspill from neighbouring areas where intensive interventions have been put in place.

Local organisations, such as St Werburgh's Neighbourhood Association demonstrate that there is also a commitment by local people to put direct effort into achieving improvements.
		This means that St Werburgh's has a very real chance of not only remaining a good place to live, but of getting better and sorting out some of its social problems.

	Topography
		Apart from the hospital of St. John, whose precinct occupied a narrow strip of land extending westwards from the gate outside the town ditch, most of the area belonged to the monks of St. Werburgh's.
		More significant were the building campaigns at St. Werburgh's between the 1480s and the 1520s, which included the addition of a new chancel to the parochial chapel of St. Oswald, and substantial work on the nave, choir aisles, and cloisters, part of an intended replacement of all the conventual buildings.
		The transformation of St. Werburgh Street was completed in the mid 1890s by the widening of its southern end and the erection of John Douglas's spectacular range of half- timbered buildings on the eastern side.

		The richest was St. Mary's, a church closely associated with the castle and which retained its independence throughout the Middle Ages, despite repeated attempts to appropriate it by the monks of St. Werburgh's.
		Mary's was largely rebuilt, St. Nicholas's chapel, serving as the parish church of St. Oswald's, was greatly enlarged in 1488, and St. Michael's acquired a new chancel.

	St. Winefride's Well
		It was probably a finer church of stone, Saxon or Norman, that the Countess Adeliza of Chester gave the Benedictine monks of St. Werburgh's Abbey, Chester, in 1093 and it would have been this church, or a successor to it, that was 'falling down' in the early 15th century.
		It is associated with the prayer of St. Winefride as written down by Robert Prior of Shrewsbury in the 12th century for all who prayed at the well 'that they might receive an answer to their request at least the third time'.
		In 1909 the church of St. Winefride was extended and it is today one of the finest in the country fitting neatly between presbytery and convent on the old, and for many centuries, only street through the town.

	Church of St Leonard City, Bristol
		Entitled "A bird's eye view of Old St Leonards" it is supposedly based on details from the Millerd Map of Bristol published in 1673.
		The actual map suggests that the west end is built out over Baldwin Street (later St Stephen's Street) which curved around beneath the outside of the medieval city walls with the tower as the Westgate built over the end of Corn Street.
		There is also a smaller gate leading into St Leonard's Lane (as it is called on this map) which continues southwards as St Nicholas Street which also still exists today.
