NPR Radio 'Marketplace' Feature on East Sussex Pilgrimage

NPR Marketplace joined Guy on one of the British Pilgrimage Trust’s one-day pilgrimages to savor the experience of “walking slowly with strangers in the direction of a religious landmark.” 

A group of fifteen latter-day pilgrims made the seven-mile ‘Old Way‘ journey, walking from St. Nicholas Church in the village of Icklesham in East Sussex along the coast to the medieval hilltop town of Rye.  Hayward — a classical singer — entertained the group with ancient hymns, anecdotes and snatches of history about the route.

Guy from the British Pilgrimage Trust meets Tony Robinson on Channel 4, and sings to him the oldest English song with words and music written down together in c. 1160 - 'Sainte Marie' by Saint Godric of Finchale - before taking him to the oldest and largest stone cross on Dartmoor - Nun's Cross - mentioned in the 1240 Perambulation of the Forest of Dartmoor.
