For some it was simply an act of piety, whereas others wished to obtain healing. Few would have doubted that by visiting a saint's shrine or holy place they would gain indulgences to offset against their sins, fast-tracking themselves into heaven when they died. The scallop shell - symbol of St James - became the recognised badge of pilgrims everywhere. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book \u003cstrong\u003eMarilyn Parkes-Seddon\u003c\/strong\u003e recounts her experiences visiting twenty-two places of pilgrimage in Britain.
