St. Catherine's Chapel, Abbotsbury

An old chapel on a hillside overlooking the sea, near the village of Abbotsbury in Dorset.

Interestingly the Wikipedia page says it "is frequently visited by women searching for a husband, St Catherine being the patron saint of spinsters."

I found a note in an alcove inside which read (apologies if this is breaching religious sensibilities regarding confidentiality; I thought it was too interesting to ignore):

A husband for me...
Intelligent
Witty, good sense of humour
Considerate, thoughtful and kind
Laidback + easygoing
Good income, financial security
Honest
Affectionate
Trustworthy
Loyal
Monogamous
Family-oriented
Good relationship with both parents, especially mother
No baggage from previous relationships
Healthy + outdoorsy - active
No drugs, alcohol abuse, gambling, smoking
Intellectual, artistic, cultural interests, e.g. books, art, film, music etc
Loves music
Social conscience - interested in big issues
Broadminded + liberal values


An unrealistic list of expectations for the perfect man? Maybe there's a reason this person's having to offer up prayers to St. Catherine to find her a husband.
