Walk with William

William and I went for a walk to see more of the old buildings around Brugge. We found some old almshouses built in the 1400's. These small houses were built for the poor, but now have been remodeled inside as single family homes(attached of course). We also saw the former Abbey of Sint Godelieve. I think she must be the saint for abused women as her husband abused her then had her strangled and thrown down a well. She was canonized in 1084. I looked her up and her patronage is for difficult marriages, healthy throats, in-law problems, throat diseases, victims of abuse, and victims of verbal spouse abuse.
This is a bust of the saint over the doorway of the former abbey.
