So we wrote to the most likely places, namely a llenetlictiiie Abbey and a Cistercian Abbey; to the former regarding “ 'Hie Conversion of the Nor th’* episode, ami to the latter Abbey about the Pilgrimagi* of Grace. Uather amusingly, we were soon informed that not all monks wear blown liahils ami have sandalled feet, nor do they publicly display rosary heads. AVe were told that monks on the him are often ” Hollywood monks,” ami that in Engli'li Pag<*ants the monks are often wrongly clothed.
