A Modern Pilgrimage
At the threshold of a medieval church in Canterbury, an unsuspecting visitor may find an England of 600 years ago. The Pilgrims Way opens this week, and attempts to re-create the journey of Chaucer's pilgrims within the time capsule of St Margaret's Church.
The quest begins at the Tabard Inn in 14th-century Southwark and encounters Chaucer's
Miller, Pardoner and the Wife of Bath on their way to
Canterbury and the tomb of Thomas a Becket.
Paul Vaughan sets off on a modem pilgrimage. Producer SALLY MARMION
