UHI Archaeology Institute lecturer Dr Sarah Jane Gibbon was recently invited to give a lecture to an English church congregation as part of their annual parish pilgrimage.

Members of the congregation of St Mary’s, Ware, Hertfordshire, heard about Medieval Christian practice and the cult of St Magnus in Orkney as part of the virtual St Magnus Way pilgrimage they are undertaking.
