Chester - DeniseChester
in the middle of town there is a place called The Cross. It's
where the 4 main streets cross each other. On one corner is an
old stone church and on the others are shops which are in old
historical buildings (Chester is a very old English town with mock
Tudor architecture). Across the road there used to be a kind
of tavern where the brides would prepare before the ceremony in the
church and from the window they could see their bethrothed
making their way down the street to the church. Legend has it
that a couple who were very much in love were due to be married one
day and the bride was waiting in the tavern as tradition
demanded. One of the groom's friends came to visit before the
groom arrived and decided to play a joke on the bride. He told
her the groom had changed his mind and wasn't coming. Feeling
pleased with himself he went away to accompany the groom up the
street to the church. As they made their way up the street the
groom suddenly stopped and looked in horror. From where he
stood he could see hanging from the upstairs window his bride, still
fully dressed in her wedding gown. She had hanged herself out
of desperation when she thought he wasn't coming. Legend has
it that on the same day each year if you stand in the
right spot
you can see exactly what that young man saw on what should have been
the happiest day of his life - his sweetheart hanging from the
window of the tavern.
