It will be followed by a procession to the Church of the English Martyrs in Dalton Terrace, where there will be Benediction and Veneration of the Relic of St Margaret Clitherow. The procession will pass through The Shambles, where Margaret Clitherow lived, and over Ouse Bridge, the place of her execution. The Church of St Wilfrid is across the road from the West Door of York Minster and about five minutes walk from the Railway Station.

Buses from there pass near to both St Wilfred’s Church and English Martyrs’ Church.
