| The Blessed John Schorn is a copy of a late 15th century sign now in
Salisbury.
John Schorn, vicar of North Marston, Bucks, from 1290-1314 was famous as an
exorcist. This pilgrim sign commemorates his most spectacular act, when he
forced the Devil into a boot. He was venerated at North Marston and from 1478
at St. George's Chapel at Windsor, where his relics were translated. He was
the patron of those ill with fever or toothache, of the blind, and of depressed youths.
