In the Middle Ages, it was thought that praying at the right shrine
could save you from just about anything, from madness and famine to
false imprisonment and even shipwreck. Kingdoms, cities, and even
individual trades had patron saints that would protect them from
misfortune and bring them wealth and prosperity, and their feast
days were celebrated with public holidays and pageants. With saints
believed to have the ear of God, veneration of figures such as St
Thomas Becket, St Cuthbert, and St Margaret brought tens of
thousands of pilgrims from all walks of life to sites across the
country. Saints, Shrines and Pilgrims takes the reader across
Britain, providing a map of the most important religious shrines
that pilgrims would travel vast distances to reach, as well as
descriptions and images of the shrines themselves. Featuring over
100 stunning photographs and a gazetteer of places to visit, it
explains the history of pilgrimage in Britain and the importance
that it played in medieval life, and describes the impact of the
unbridled assault made on pilgrimage by the Reformation.
