tour in the chapter house seems a bit of a stretch. I wouldn't expect
pilgrims to have access to it.
thanks, John.
my thought as well, that we have no mention of "pilgrims" there but, being
severly Latiniacally Challenged, i was reluctant to rely on it.
your point about the "pilgrims'" "tour" beginning in the chapter house (not)
seems even more telling.
i'll pass this along.
best,
