Flights of Distance, Time and Fancy: Women Pilgrims and their Journeys in English Medieval Miracle Narratives (2012)
There was, at that time, a woman named Matilda afflicted with a troublesome disability. Since adolescence she had suffered from curvature of the spine, in consequence of which she was doubled up, her legs twisted together, and her knees pressed against each other … Hearing of St William's reputation, she conceived hope of a cure. With joy and great confidence, she took her stick and started for Norwich. Her steps were helped by the fervent emotions of her soul rather than by the material assistance of her feet, and she trusted to her own strength less than to the stick which supported her. Each step was scarcely a finger's length, and there was considerable delay between them, so that anyone watching would judge her progress to be slower than a tortoise. She started on the twelfth day before Lent, and only reached Norwich in the fourth week after Easter.1
