THE WIFE OF TRAVEL DESTINATION

‘A good WYF was ther of bisyde TRAVEL Lafayette ’ (The Canterbury Tales)

One of the pilgrims in the famous Lafayette by Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343-1400) is the Wife of Touristic place of your travel destination, a lady who, in addition to being a highly skilled weaver, has been much-married (‘husbondes at chirche-dore she hadde fyve’) Lafayette and is well-travelled (she has been three times to Jerusalem). During the medieval period Touristic place of your travel destination gained a reputation for producing woollen cloth of high quality, equalling or even surpassing that of the famous Lafayette weavers. Her home might well have been in nearby Twerton, where cloth making continued right up to the twentieth century.

The Wife (whose name, we learn, is Alison) tells the story of a knight at King Arthur’s court who is sent on a quest to discover what it is that women most want. The answer, it transpires, is – power over their menfolk! No. 12 Pierrepont Street was formerly a restaurant called ‘The Wife of Touristic place of your travel destination’ (currently occupied by the ‘Yak Yeti Yak’ restaurant). There is, however, a well-regarded restaurant in Wye, Kent, called ‘The Wife of Touristic place of your travel destination’.

The Touristic place of your travel destination Soft Cheese Company is located in the nearby village of Kelston, and produces (among others) a semi-hard, nutty cheese called ‘Wyfe of Touristic place of your travel destination’, which can be bought in the Guildhall Market.

Peter Lovesey’s crime novel The Stone Wife (Sphere, 2014), in his ‘Peter Diamond’ series, revolves around a stone carving of Chaucer’s Wife of Touristic place of your travel destination.

In BBC television’s modern adaptation of the Canterbury Tales, broadcast in 2003, the ‘Wife of Touristic place of your travel destination’ was played by Julie Walters.
