This film follows Fr Marcus Holden and Fr Nicholas Schofield as they journey from London to Canterbury. Along the way they discover the story of St Thomas a Becket and some fascinating traditions: the Rood of Boxley, the splendour of Rochester, the ‘second Carmel’ at Aylesford and many more.

By retracing the steps of the medieval pilgrims, this film draws out the rich Christian heritage of England and reflects on what it means ‘To Be A Pilgrim’.

Thanks to Lesley Brennan for bringing this to our attention.

  1. This is a very good video with amazing detail presented in a very interesting way -including the odd visit to places not easily accessed along the way. Perfect for New Year viewing and inspiring as we look to better times when we can do it too.

  2. Dear Pilgrims,
    My husband Alured and I are old Pilgrims sadly not able to join you any longer as he has Alzheimers. I know we are too late for the free film/video but could you let us know where to buy it please? I know he’s love to see it and to keep in touch. Tass Darlington.

    1. Dear Tass,
      Good to hear from you. Best wishes to Alured. This is not a physical video, rather you stream or download it over the internet. I see that you can now “rent” it for a week for £2.50 or “buy” it permanently for £4.50. Go to this website to do it: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/tobeapilgrim
