THIS weekend’s Songs of Praise episode will feature a pilgrimage to Durham Cathedral.
Canon Kate Bottley, presenter of the religious series who also appeared in Gogglebox, joined pilgrims on the final day of their walk along the Way of Learning – one of the new Northern Saints Trails that celebrate the lives of local saints such as Cuthbert, Hilda and Bede.
The Bishop of Durham Paul Butler, his wife, Rosemary, and Northern Saints Trail Coordinator David Pott, completed four of the Ways between Palm Sunday and Pentecost Sunday. The Bishop of Jarrow Sarah Clark completed three.
Mr Pott first contacted the Songs of Praise team when the inaugural pilgrimages along the routes were being planned back in 2019.
