Recently a fascinating burial was discovered in Worcester; that of a pilgrim who lived in the mid-15th century.

What makes this find  extraordinary is the preservation of organics in the grave, including, rather spectacularly, the man’s tall leather boots. His pilgrim’s staff was also present.

The Worcester pilgrim  certainly provides a window on the world of the late Middle Ages.
