For more details please call 01736 787218 About Michaelmass Pilgrimage Started by Sir George Trevelyan at the first Wrekin Trust Michaelmas pilgrimage to Cornwall in 1973. This annual pilgrimage sees us travelling in Sir Georges footsteps. 1973 Sir George returned to the seat of his ancestors for the first time in 300 years. Locals presented him with an oil painting of St. Michaels Mount at the Trevelyan Arms. There was Sufi dancing at St. Hilary vicarage, tales of Jesus and Joseph of Arimathea in Cornwall bartering tin at Marazion, discovering anew stone circle with John Michell. Then, on St. Michaels Mount, a thunderbolt and huge hailstones railed at us in the Chapel as Kitty Trevelyan, Georges sister, heralded in the new age in ringing tones. The Mount shook. At any moment, it seemed, a Trevillion would emerge on his white charger out of the waves and froth. And it was such fun... and then peace and golden days. The weather was always so appropriate on those occasions. (Somewhere, I have this service recorded on tape.) I have fond memories of walking across the causeway with him to the Mount as the tide came in, squeezing through the Men an Tol and his recital of the whole of The Wreck of the Hesperus against a huge green crashing sea, with only a window behind and the spray. This was at Porth en Als, the castle on the edge of the cliff. At Chapel Carn Brea hill, standing high on the rock, newly dedicated to the memory of the Bard Maghteth Myghal (servant of Michael), Margaret Thornley, he told her story of pilgrimage. She had travelled all over Europe in the decade following the war, linking all the St. Michael hermitages. In the late eighties, he recited the whole of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice at the Minack Theatre on the rocks against a back drop of dazzling blue sea and sky.
