Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
October 7, 2025, St Mary Magdalene Church, Exmoor

After the Mother of God, "MARY MAGDALENE" is the most frequently mentioned woman in the writings of the New Testament. Originally called "Mary of Magdala"—after her place of origin on the Sea of Galilee—the name "Mary Magdalene" has evolved over time. According to the testimony of the evangelists, she is one of the women and men who followed Jesus Christ. According to the biblical accounts, Mary Magdalene is also one of the three who, after the crucifixion and burial of Jesus on Easter morning, wished to anoint the body of Jesus, and the very first person to ever meet the resurrected Christ. Pope Francis therefore honored her as an 'Apostle of the Apostles,' saying at a general audience: + "She shows us the God who knows us human beings, cares for us, and cares for our lives. Every person is a story of love that God is writing on earth. As with Mary Magdalene, the life of every Christian is immersed in this overflowing joy: We have a God at our side who calls us by name and raises us up, who, through his resurrection, transforms us and the world." The feast day of Saint Mary Magdalene in the calendar of saints is, in all major Christian denominations, July 22nd.

Excellent spot for a good pint of beer and a delicious meal. They often don't open until 6 p.m., so reservations are recommended.

The place where Winsford likely gets its name. Ford is an old word for a ford. If the name of the stream is Winn Brook, Winsford is a logical choice 😁
