Britain's What's On Event Guide
Walking through History
The importance of the past to modern pilgrimage
John Jenkins looks at pilgrimage in the British Isles from its revival in the mid-19th century to the present day, showing how and why the ideal of a medieval ‘Golden Age’ continues to shape how we think about pilgrimage today, and why historical ‘authenticity’ has become so attractive for modern pilgrims. This illustrated talk is part of the series 'To be a Pilgrim: pilgrimage past and present'.
