The relic disappeared at the Reformation. In 1786 a hand in a casket was discovered on the Abbey site. In 2018 it was carbon dated to 10th century. So not St James, but very probably the medieval relic venerated in the Abbey in the 12th century!

Today's visit to St Clether's holy well, Cornwall. So much going on here. Water flows from an outer well house (image 1) via a channel into the well chapel (image 2), and out into another well the other side of the chapel (image 3). Meanwhile inside the chapel ... 1/2

My 8th #AdventPilgrimage is to the birthplace of a very special saint: St Columba/Colmcille. We visited the ruins of the abbey and holy well at Gratan, Donegal, in May.😇 #Pilgrimage

Happy first day of Advent to all my followers!✨ To mark the countdown to Christmas, each day I'll post a photo from one of my pilgrimages last year, in a final lookback at some of the special places I visited during 2023. #pilgrimage First: St Decumen's Well, Watchet, Somerset

My offering for #TombTuesday is Arthur's Stone, a hefty 25-ton capstone at Cefn Bryn, the highest point of the Gower Peninsular. It apparently caps two Neolithic tombs.

Thank you so much to everyone who sent such kind and thoughtful messages. It was very comforting to read them at this sad time. x I'll be taking a break from Twitter until after Christmas. #CaminoTuesday will return in the New Year. Happy Christmas to you all. 🎄

Our hearts are crippled with grief and sorrow because our beloved Pilgrim died yesterday after a sudden, short illness. He was a very special dog and he's left an enormous hole in our lives. 💔 Requiescat in pace Pilgrim, 2008-2022.

Rather pleased with my haul of #Lourdes souvenirs. As well as the obligatory candle and bottle of Lourdes water, along with a mug to add to my collection, they include Lourdes-water pastilles, a BVM waterbottle with a crown screw top, and a glow-in-the-dark Virgin Mary. 😉😇

#FontsOnFriday From my pilgrimage last weekend: the delightfully wonky Saxon font (c960) at St Morwenna's Church, Morwenstow (Cornwall).

Yesterday I joined Fr Toby, Fr Sam, Br Bede & Br John for the last leg of their #pilgrimage as they retraced the steps of first Dominicans arriving in England in 1221. After an early start at Dorchester Abbey, we stopped at Abingdon for Mass & then to Oxford. #OP800pilgrimage

Christine de Pizan (c1364-1430) advises that a woman should not 'use pilgrimages as an excuse to get away from town in order to play about or kick up her heels in some merry company'. Seems some medieval women didn't take #Pilgrimage very seriously!

And so the first day of pilgrimage along the Whiting Way from Bristol to Glastonbury ends at Chew Magna with a much appreciated fish and chip supper. #PilgrimWays

On #stpiransday , looking back at my 2015 pilgrimage in search of Cornwall's patron saint. Pictured: the site of St Piran's oratory at Perranporth (dug out of the sands in 2014), and a one of his many nearby wells. Happy St Piran's Day! 😇
