At 10:30am on Thursday 4th September the Athelstan 1100 Pilgrim Way Walk and Cycle from Malmesbury to Kingston arrived at All Saints Church to start of a great day of celebration. The Mayor of Malmesbury, Cllr Stephen James, has done it! The crown transported from Malmesbury in time for the 1100th anniversary of Athelstan’s coronation is safely delivered.
A huge number of walkers and a large group of cyclists from Malmesbury, Kingston and the towns along the Athelstan 1100 Pilgrim Way and further afield have taken part. Our arrival and welcome in Kingston exceeded all our expectations.
A huge congratulations to Stephen and all those involved. We’ll add the story of the journey over the next few days.
