2nd Visit to Dunstable Priory

Our second visit was quite different. We wanted to follow the leyline through the grounds and to photograph things we missed last time. (And to buy some brochures which we were too mean to pay for last time!) We also wanted to check once and for all our result as to whether it was a Mary or Michael line. We also wanted to check further the two modern (1972) interesting stained glass windows over the west door.

To our surprise the atmosphere was much lighter on this visit. There had obviously been a wedding because there were beautiful flowers everywhere. Had these two things had an effect on the energies in the church? This is an interesting thought. Can we change vibrations with emotions? Does happiness affect the leys? Can such a simple thing as flowers raise vibrations? All interesting questions.

The 1972 stained glass west windows showed two figures. The man in the red window is King Henry I who founded the Priory. We were most amused to see that he was sitting directly on top of an Eleanor Cross (his wife). this must be most uncomfortable!!! The 'H' on the yellow window no doubt stands for Henry but we have no idea about the 'C'. Could Thomas Cranmer be the man carrying his head? He annulled Henry VIII’s marriage at Dunstable but later he lost favour and was executed. Just a thought.

We read the brochure about the stained glass window, and we were amazed to find the red window has green lines behind Henry representing the crossing of the Icknield Way and Watling Street. (You can just see it at the bottom of the window in pic above). This, of course, is the path of the MM line. Amazing to think that leylines are represented in a church. Perhaps proof that they exert some sort of pull or energy even if you are not aware of it.

Checking the leyline again, it was very strong going up the centre aisle again, but was stranded at the edges, particularly near the altar.
　
We made our way outside to explore the grounds. By the East end of the church we found the leyline to be even wider than inside. It seemed to stretch the whole width of the church and was again very stranded. However, the energies seemed exceedingly strong and we both felt tightness in our chests, A sign we both feel when energies are strong. Jackie then made an amazing discovery that in fact the leyline encompassed most of the grounds behind the church. Later on that day looking at a map, much to our amazement (and we certainly didn’t know it at the time,) we found the Icknield Way actually runs along through the grounds and along the side of the church. We high fived!

Returning to the front west door we dowsed the line and followed it through the archway leading to the priory grounds and it made a right turn to Priory House (see pic). Priory House (for those that are interested in symbology it is interesting to note that it is No 33!) was a travellers resting inn right on the crossroads of Icknield Way and Watling Street. Yes – them again. It is worth a visit to see the beautiful stone vaulted ceilings, Then the line went across Watling Street and up the side of the Methodist church. This path leads directly to Friars Field. We will pick the leyline up next time.
