Desktop Pilgrimage 2021 | Day 12


In which we start where we stopped on Day 11, Rochester Cathedral.

Where we go

  1. Back along the Medway, through Borstal
  2. Under the flyover we decorated with grafitti yesterday (miraculously clean now)
  3. Aylesford Priory

Topics, stories

  • How much the atmosphere changed yesterday, with lots of people, lots of strangers
  • Charles Dickens, and his relationship with the Medway towns
  • Were these the marshes featured in Great Expectations?
  • How beautiful the priory is
  • A reading from the BPT guide, about St Simon (whose skull is in the reliquary at the priory)
  • A look through photos of the inside of the priory that people have kindly posted online
