A FUND raising pilgrimage from Bath Abbey to Wells Cathedral took place over a weekend recently.

The funds were for Wells Almshouses and the vulnerable elderly in war torn Eastern Ukraine.

Amongst those taking part was former Lord Lieutenant of Somerset, Annie Maw and the Bishop of Bath and Wells, Michael Beasley with his wife.

This 30 mile trek stopped at Hinton Blewett village hall on Saturday afternoon, where they were met by the Lay Dean of Chew Magna deanery, Graham Sage, for a very welcome cup of tea and cakes.

Sunday morning the walkers met up again to continue their way to Wells Cathedral.
