Minster School from Queen's Path

The red painted facade of the Minster School dominates the view on the right hand side of the Queen's Path along the side of the Minster heading towards St William's College. The Queen's Path is so called because it was along this path pensioners of the city were presented with Maundy Money by the Queen on Maundy Thursday in 1972. The number of coins given each year is equal to the age of the monarch. The oldest recipient of Maundy Money from the Queen was Kathleen Grimwood at the age of 107 at St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds in 2009.
