Gregg de Flangeleak was the simple son of a baker who lived in Shaw (or SHAVIUM, as it was then known) around 231AD.
Although unable to read or write, St Gregg was reputed to make the finest fondant fancies in the Roman empire. It was whilst icing a batch that the Romans actually arrived in Shavium and twatted him to death with a huge egg custard (see stained glass window, above.)
In 1832, whilst being healed of cruckle of the foot somewhere along what we now know as MARKET STREET, a simple Shaw native called EDIE claimed to have seen a vision of St Gregg who laid a pasty upon her cruckledness and cured her instantly.
The sight has been a place of pilgrimage and healing from that day on.
