Author: Luke Daly August 20, 2022 Duration: 25:23

Today's episode is one dear to me as this is my area of expertise and interest. The episode focuses on Medieval English Pilgrims and seeks to answer a few questions: Who were these pilgrims? What did pilgrims donate and offer shrines? How did pilgrims worship in this era?  In what ways do we research pilgrims? As always, thank you for listening and check out below a selection of sources to delve into if you're interested, followed by my social media links.
