The Bradwell Pilgrimage is a walk of approximately 2 miles from St Thomas’ Church in the centre of Bradwell village to the historic Chapel of St Peters on the Wall. Once there the pilgrims eat a picnic lunch before an afternon of workshops, worship, speeches and community singing which ends around 3.30pm. The pilgrimages began durng the late twentieth century, partly to commemorate the arrival of St Cedd who established a monastery here way back in 653 AD ; after many years being used as a barn, the chapel was restored for religious use in the 1920s. Nowadays there is a whole Festival based around the Pilgrimage weekend with Christian speakers, activities and music.
