by Diana Webb (Author)
The men and women who gathered at the Tabard Inn in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" are the most famous of the thousands of pilgrims who set off to the various shrines in the middle ages. This book looks at the most famous shrines, notably that of St Thomas Becket at Canterbury, and also describes the local pilgrimages and cults, their rise and fall.
