Old monastery walls

Our interest was aroused by stories we had heard about an old monastery which used to be on the land now occupied by The White House. We had been told about the old walls that still stood there and had heard, from a couple of sources from people who lived either end of these walls, that there were some strange "goings on" around that area. Jackie knew that area so we took our dowsing rods and "bobber" and off we went. I have to say we did feel a bit on the silly side - every time someone near we hurriedly put away our dowsing tools!!

What we found was fascinating. Down one side of the walls there was a very wide path which Jackie "felt" she had been there before. Perhaps when she was a child, she definitely hadn't been there before in her adult lifetime. We both had a "flash", a feeling, that we saw a woman walking along this path - in both our visions she was wearing dark clothing, long black or dark gray wide skirt, back or dark gray top with white collar and white apron with a white bonnet. Quite extraordinary that we both felt the same thing. This wide path we discovered was called Windmill Path and, after research in the local library, we discovered that the main windmill in Leighton Buzzard was at the end of this path.

Anyway back to the old walls. We found a Yew tree which suggests there might have been a church on the site. We found archways and a strange curve in the wall. We discovered part of the old wall in the car park of what is now the Catholic Church. Churches are invariably built on previous church sites, going way back into ancient and pre-christian times. We were pretty convinced that these walls were, in fact, a religious site. We also thought that the phenomena that our two sources had been seeing, might have been the townspeople going to and fro the windmill. In spite of some funny looks we were determined to come back and see if we could find the energies of the lost windmill and to explore inside the walls.
