- His relics are venerated at Aylesford Priory (about thirty miles south-east
- of London, in Kent, in England), a Carmelite Priory which re-opened for
- business some time earlier in this century, after suffering under Henry
- VIII's dissolution of the monasteries. I haven't been there in fifteen

- visions of the blessed virgin that inspired him to found (?)the priory,
- (?)the order(?) or something.
