For some it was simply an act of piety, whereas others wished to obtain healing. Few would have doubted that by visiting a saint's shrine or holy place they would gain indulgences to offset against their sins, fast-tracking themselves into heaven when they died. The scallop shell - symbol of St James - became the recognised badge of pilgrims everywhere. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book \u003cstrong\u003eMarilyn Parkes-Seddon\u003c\/strong\u003e recounts her experiences visiting twenty-two places of pilgrimage in Britain. Her journeys take her from the tiny cell where St Julian lived in self-imposed incarceration for forty years to the unexpected jewel of Samye Ling Buddhist monastery in Dumfries \u0026amp; Galloway and the awesome grandeur of Durham Cathedral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marilyn Parkes-Seddon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0722351844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780722351840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e A H Stockwell Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Marilyn Parkes-Seddon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080268476671,"sku":"9780722351840","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fec12172-c65c-4975-aac8-d5aa0180b028.jpg?v=1685485865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeking-the-scallop-shell-marilyn-parkes-seddon-9780722351840","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
