| Abstract | This sessions explores memories and ideas of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, and the ways in which contact with the Holy Land was maintained, in medieval Britain. The first paper examines the role of crusading, pilgrimage and the Holy Sepulchre in the development of family and identity in south Wales; the second paper looks at role of Walsingham as a virtual pilgrimage location which allowed English pilgrims to reach Jerusalem; the final paper examines the ways in which Holy Land relics were used, remembered, and authenticated, and how that might reflect the status of both object and owner. |
