Steeped in Tradition

There is a long history of pilgrimage in England, and 2020 has been designated as the Year of Pilgrimage in commemoration of Thomas Becket’s martyrdom in Canterbury 850 years ago. I spent a day in London following the threads of our interests and walking in the footsteps of pilgrims past.

A King’s Knee

At last, a golden autumn morning with a morning tide – perfect for a drive out into the countryside and a hike through one of our newest and favourite nature preserves on Wallasea Island before making a quick stop at Canewdon Church.

St James in London

I attended an event for returned pilgrims which was held in St James Garlickhythe, a jewel of a church not far from Mansion House within the City of London.
