Pilgrimage could be carried out for devout reasons or as an excuse for a holiday. Join me on a journey to distant shrines and those closer to home, and witness the miracles and frauds of pilgrimage.
The talk includes music played on replica period instruments.

I am an ex- professional horticulturist/Head Gardener and college lecturer in horticulture and garden history, with an MA in Garden History.
My other interest is medieval history, especially daily life, music and pilgrimage.
I designed and set out the medieval gardens at the Prebendal Manor, Nassington, which was once the biggest fully authentic reproduction of a medieval garden in Europe. Sadly much of the garden was later removed to make the site a wedding venue.
I have written four books published by White Owl Books/Pen and Sword.
Death in the Garden, about poisonous plants. An Introduction to Medieval Gardens, Gardens in the Age of Chivalry. Medieval Plants and their Uses. The Medieval Pilgrim. Roads to Salvation.
Also Pontefract Castle Garden, a guide book illustrated by Hannah MVicar.
