Among England's most evocative landscapes, the valleys of the Idle and Trent rivers must surely speak to the imagination with the voice of history. Here, four hundred years ago, a handful of people claimed the right to remain true to their consciences in matters of religious belief - daring to refuse to conform to government demands for uniformity. On this part of the website I'd like to take you with me on a tour I made in 2006 of the Pilgrim sites in northern Nottinghamshire, western Lincolnshire and southern Yorkshire, the region where the Pilgrim movement began.
