Since the early days of mankind there seems to have been an urge to travel. The undertaking of arduous journeys to visit a sacred, or magical place seems to be an integral part of the human psyche. The peak of English pilgrimage was during the medieval period.

Some pilgrims spent large sums of money and risked their lives to travel to the Holy Land to see the places where  Jesus had lived and died. The other major destinations, and closer to home, were Rome and  Santiago de Compostela. Yet most pilgrimages were of a day or two to local shrines.  Pilgrimage could be made as a form of personal devotion, to ask for a cure of illness or in thankfulness for help from the saints.

This book explores the stories of the people who went on pilgrimage. Where did they go?  What inspired them to make the journey? What hardships would they endure on the way?  What would they experience when they arrived at their destination. Would there be miracles? and how would their life be changed when they returned home.  The history of pilgrimage is the story of people, their hopes and fears, in this life and the next.
