Tintagel

The origin of the name Tintagel probably comes from “Dindagel” a Cornish word meaning “fort on the constriction”  referring to the fort or castle on the headland.  Tintagel was the name of the whole parish, the village, being known as Trevena until the Victorian period.  “Tre” is a Cornish Word meaning settlement or farmstead.

John v Arthur

When Richard I died his nephew Arthur was next in line.  How ever Arthur was only 12 years old and had never been to England.  John was an adult and a better choice, from the English baron’s point of view.  Arthur was captured by John in 1202 and mysteriously vanished.  One theory is that John murdered him and dumped his body in the River Seine.

And we’re going back the early 12th c for our look around 

                                                      to HOUSE OF CLUNIAC MONKS                                                                                                   THE PRIORY OF LENTON

The Clunic House was founded her in Nottingham by William Peverel 

https://www.geni.com/people/Sir-William-Peverell-The-Elder-of-Nottingham/6000000002043204938

This was built around 1102-1108.

 

 

A large endowment of property came with this building and resulted in a very violent disagreement when it was seized by the crown and reassigned to the Lichfield Cathedral

Lenton was from the start home to French monks until the late 14th century when it was freed from the control of it’s foreign Mother House

https://thehistoryjar.com/tag/cluniac-monks/

 

The last Prior was Nicholas Heath (or Hathe)

Heath was appointed thru connections with Cromwell in 1535

 

Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII

But life under Henry VIII—while stable for the company as a whole it was an ever shifting reality while he went from woman to woman in look of a son and then some and Heath was thrown into prison in 1538 (2 years after Henry’s dealing with the Monasteries began)

and indited for High Treason along with 8 monks.

the Prior along with one of these monks was executed first and then the other 7 monks were executed at Nottingham’s market place.

 

430 Catholic Martyrs Murdered by Henry VIII (1534-1544)

 

All these died well before Henry’s program resulted in the destruction of this monastery at that time there were only the servants and a few paupers who lived here to be tossed out by the men who claimed it.

In the late (1584) there was a horse fair here

in the 19th century it was a place where farmers and horse dealers sold their merchandise

All this ceased by the 20th century.

20 Fun Things to Do at Home Now

This is just one of many trips on the web that offers more than just an adventure as a goal of your travel.
The ad goes on to say:  You’re invited on a journey of a lifetime on a sacred pilgrimage to ancient temples and deep spiritual wisdom of Vrindavan & Varanasi
and further says
Visit the sacred town of Vrindavan,
where Radha and Krishna spent their past times connecting to the sweetness of the nectar of these Divine Lovers. 
Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims visit this town to worship the dust where those lovers walked,
and get a taste of the essence of Bhakti Yoga,
the yoga of love and devotion. We’ll visit the Taj Mahal,
a gorgeous monument to love in beautiful Agra.
The object of Pilgrimage is not rest and recreation—to get away from it all.   To set out on a pilgrimage i to throw down a challenge to everyday life.  Nothing matters now but this adventure.  Travelers jostle each other to board the train where they crowd together for a journey that may last several days.  After that there is a stony road to climb on foot–a rough, wild  path in a landscape where everything is new.  The naked glitter of the sacred mountain stirs the imagination, the adventure of self conqust has begun.  Specifies may differ, but he substance is always the same.  Phil Cousineau The Art of Pilgrimage.  
Christian Tours include such places as
The Holly lands of course
There  are In the Foot Prints of St. Paul
The Pilgrim Ways which offers guided retreats on ancient pilgrimage routes.
Different religions have different centers of destination for these journies for instance:   Lumbini, the birthplace of the Lord Buddha and a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists worldwide,
while Christian, Jewish and Muslim worshipers have multiple sites of faith and points of pilgrimage in the Holy Lands

 

People go on pilgrimage for as many reasons as there are pilgrims. And you don’t have to be religious to go on pilgrimage!

 

Often, people go on pilgrimage when they are at a crossroads in their lives, when undergoing a change in their life’s direction or relationships. Others may be in search of a deeper spirituality, healing and forgiveness. Or it may be that pilgrimage marks a special birthday, retirement or other occasion for giving thanks. It’s also a great adventure with the chance to meet new people and see new places.

 

For Christians, the reasons for going on pilgrimage might be:

 

  • To set aside time for God and feel closer to him
  • To discern his will and guidance at times of transition or difficulty
  • To be strengthened in faith
  • To feel inspired by the communion of saints who have gone before us
