Julia Cartwright walks the ancient road that medieval pilgrims took along the chalk downs from Winchester to the shrine of Thomas Becket at Canterbury. Stage by stage, from Alton and Compton to Shalford, Albury, Westerham and on into Kent, she describes the villages, churches, manor houses and parks along the route, with the history and legends attached to each.
