The Nun’s Priest

The Host bids the Nun’s Priest to tell a story

‘Yes’ he replied, ‘Yes Host I’ll do my best,

To tell a tale to make our troubles pack.’

And he immediately began to broach

His story to us as we all rode on,

This charming priest and kindly man, Sir John.

 

The Nun’s Priest was travelling with The Nun Prioress, no doubt to ensure that her pilgrimage would all go smoothly.

As with several of the religious figures in the collection we have used our own gentle cobalt blue for his main robes, with just a touch of the terracotta and soft Sherwood green in the details of his costume.
