Spencer Street Bench Poetry

7 April 2020

Near the Sacred Heart School on Spencer Street is this lovely little bench with a piece of poetry carved into it written originally for Elizabeth 1st by Edmund Spenser. It is believed the saying 'no rhyme or reason' comes from this poem. A plaque nearby explains the links.
