Next weekend sees the Annual Glastonbury Pilgrimages on 7/8/9 July
The first pilgrimage to Glastonbury in modern times was in 1895 to celebrate the beatification of Abbot Richard Whiting, on the anniversary of his martyrdom 1539, when thousands of pilgrims from all over the country arrived by train and climbed the Tor where Mass was said.
Pilgrimages took place after both World Wars by pilgrims in thanksgiving for their survival.
Every year since the early 1950’s (except for the COVID pandemic years) the Clifton Diocesan Glastonbury Pilgrimage has been held in Glastonbury.
