Pilgrims passed through Saffron Walden at their weekend on their way to the shrine of Walsingham in Norfolk.
Before Henry VIII outlawed pilgrimages and the veneration of saints in 1538, the journey from London to the shrine was the most popular pilgrimage in England.
The newly-resurrected route saw Andy Bull - who wrote 'London to Walsingham Camino - The Pilgrim's Guide' - joined by others on their way from Stansted to Withersfield via Walden.
St Mary's Church in Saffron Walden is one of 19 churches en route with its own pilgrimage stamp.

Pilgrims can use the stamp to mark their progress on the Camino de Santiago network of pilgrimage routes across Europe, which was established by the Confraternity of St James.
