St Godric’s song - read more: Dr Guy Hayward, co-founder of the British Pilgrimage Trust, sings an ancient St Godric song among the ruins of Finchale Abbey in County Durham, North East England, UK. The performance - sung in Anglo Saxon - was made during the annual St Cuthbert Walk from Chester le Street to Durham Cathedral, which follows the route taken by the monks in 995AD when they left Chester le Street with St Cuthbert’s body, looking for a safe haven away from Viking raids. The walkers were joined by Durham Friends of the Camino including guests from Spain.
