The Wayfarer’s Dole

The Hospital of St Cross is famous world-wide for its unique and ancient tradition of the Wayfarer's Dole. The founder of this tradition was a Cluniac monk whose order always gave bread and wine to travellers at a time when St Cross stood on an important east-west route for merchants and pilgrims.
Today’s Dole, a drink of beer and some bread, has come to reflect this custom.

“Honestly requested and willingly given”

New Wayfarer’s Ale

Only Available In The Shop At St Cross Hospital

Some of the best stories from the Ghastly Goings On tours have now been published as a booklet, also available from the Porter's Lodge at £2.50. A good antidote to official histories and/or a light­hearted gift for someone who knows the Hospital!
