Pilgrimage to visit the Oaksey mermaid - the remains of a circa early 15th century religious wall painting of St Christopher carrying the Christ child - with a beautiful yellow-haired mermaid between his ankles - complete with her mirror and comb. She, and the other church paintings, were covered in layers of lime wash during the reformation. All Saints in Oaksey also has a fabulous sheelagh-na-gig on the outside.
