“Pilgrim Pilgrim” is a creative retelling of the legend of the Dun Cow, conveying the story of the journey of a group of monks carrying the coffin of St Cuthbert from Lindisfarne Monastery to ‘Dunholme’, or what is today known as Durham, Cuthbert’s final resting place.
The story explores themes of pilgrimage, using the medieval legend as a foundation for reflections on pilgrimages in the modern era, considering the similarities between the experience of the monks, the milkmaid they encounter on their journey, and the experience of university students moving in and out of Durham today.
