Like monasteries, abbeys, saints\u2019 days, confession and mass, pilgrimage was a major part of English medieval life, but all these things were removed in the Reformation. Pilgrimages were banned by an Act of Parliament shaped by Thomas Cromwell in 1538 and the practice never really picked up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is Guy\u2019s mission to revive this lost practice. But what does a pilgrimage look like in the modern world? For Guy, it\u2019s a broad term, where pilgrimage is a practice, not a belief system. It can be spiritual or simply an act of walking in the footsteps of our ancestors, visiting sacred locations \u2013 cathedrals, ancient trees, river sources, holy wells, standing stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/lincolnshire-pathways-1-.jpg\" alt=\"Lincolnshire Pathways\" class=\"wp-image-20398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/lincolnshire-pathways-1-.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/lincolnshire-pathways-1--300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/lincolnshire-pathways-1--768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lincolnshire pathways<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018All you need to be a pilgrim is good intentions and a heart open for transformation,\u2019 Guy explained as we strolled along the lanes. \u2018Pilgrimage is not about how far you travel, but about how deeply you travel.\u2019 It\u2019s different to a walk, because you\u2019re opening yourself up to experience the unexpected, heading towards an unknown destination. Tourists come with expectations, but pilgrims are open to what the journey will show and grow in them. Walking is for the body; pilgrimage for the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In medieval times, the destination was even more unknown than now, where our phones show us photos of the destination before we see it in real life. But aside from the physical end point, the true unknown destination is the person we become, transformed by changes within. \u2018Pilgrimage can be a process of days or months or even years,\u2019 Guy told me, \u2018but you can also make a pilgrimage in a matter of hours.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My walk, from Lincoln to London, seemed to have all the characteristics of a pilgrimage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Following the footsteps of ancestors.

An innocuous-looking pond, beside which \u2013 among long reeds \u2013 was a sign. This was the site of \u2018The Chapel over the Pond\u2019, a Methodist chapel that stood, on stilts, raised up above the village pond, from 1861 until 1981. A timber building with a slated roof, it could seat up to fifty people. \u2018During its life,\u2019 I read aloud from the plaque, \u2018the Chapel was maintained meticulously with loving care by the villagers who ensured that the pews were kept beautifully polished and the wooden floor scrubbed white. Very often, the sound of ducks under the Chapel accompanied any worthy sermons and hymn singing.\u2019 There was no explanation of the obvious question: why was the chapel built on stilts, on water, rather than the perfectly good ground nearby? A planning issue? Or an attempt to rival our Venetian friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, the plaque continued: \u2018Many happy memories of this Chapel and the spirit of the departed generations are held by families in the village.\u2019 How lovely it was to gaze at the still waters, imagining the years of joyful hymn singing, accompanied by quacking and splashing, which once filled the air. \u2018You see,\u2019 Guy said, \u2018pilgrimage is full of surprises!\u2019 As we walked, sharing the space with that \u2018spirit of the departed generations\u2019, as the plaque put it, Guy explained another concept. \u2018Thin spaces\u2019 are spots that hold spiritual significance: a parish church, a long barrow, a stone circle. Here, some people believe, the veil between this world and the sacred world is \u2018thin\u2019 \u2013 where the walls of the world are weak and there is little barrier between heaven and earth. It\u2019s in those places where you feel a spine-shiver of something beyond words \u2013 something transcendent or perhaps divine. Perhaps it was the kind of spiritual otherworldliness that Mahatma Gandhi described: the \u2018indefinable, mysterious power that pervades everything\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/the-site-where-eleanor-died-in-harby-1.jpg\" alt=\"The site where Eleanor died in Harby \" class=\"wp-image-20401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/the-site-where-eleanor-died-in-harby-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/the-site-where-eleanor-died-in-harby-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/the-site-where-eleanor-died-in-harby-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The site where Eleanor died in Harby <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important part of pilgrimage, Guy explained, is the act of being physically in a place. Not just reading a book about places or watching a video, but standing with feet on the ground, breathing in the fresh air. To discover the spirit of a place, to get a feel for people \u2013 and, in turn, see how you slot into the picture \u2013 boots on the ground is of vital importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking is brilliant for that: hours and hours to take in the landscape, to gaze at the skies. Your mind is free to become bored, to aimlessly wander \u2013 to notice tiny, unexpected details that the motorist or cyclist might speed by. It also allows you to travel at a pace that links humankind across time and space \u2013 by foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aliceloxton.com\/eleanor-book\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/60c49fc2-9828-4f05-9ed5-fb3ba5bbc46f.__cr00970300_pt0_sx970_v1___.jpg\" alt=\"eleanor book\" class=\"wp-image-18813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/60c49fc2-9828-4f05-9ed5-fb3ba5bbc46f.__cr00970300_pt0_sx970_v1___.jpg 970w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/60c49fc2-9828-4f05-9ed5-fb3ba5bbc46f.__cr00970300_pt0_sx970_v1___-300x93.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/60c49fc2-9828-4f05-9ed5-fb3ba5bbc46f.__cr00970300_pt0_sx970_v1___-768x238.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pilgrimage isn\u2019t just about reaching a destination, it\u2019s about the stories, surprises, and transformations along the way.
