Course Detail: The English landscapes abounds with reminders of medieval shrines. Some are buildings or remains of buildings, others exist in place names or traces in legends. Join us as we escape into a medieval world of art, legend, literature, and wonderful countryside by following the footsteps of pilgrims across southern England. Who went on pilgrimage, how did they travel, where did they stay and what motivated them to undertake their journeys?
