Regarding the patronage of this church: The apostle Thomas, one of the twelve whom Jesus called into the inner circle of his disciples, is not often mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament. The passage probably best known to most Christians is the one following the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which has earned him the unflattering nickname "Doubting Thomas" in popular parlance. The Evangelist John reports on this in the 20th chapter of his version of the "Good News" (this is the translation of the word "Gospel"). This theme, of course, also provided an opportunity for dissemination in religious art throughout many eras, for example in one of Caravaggio's most famous paintings – if you're interested, see =>> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_ungl%C3%A4ubige_Thomas_(Caravaggio)#/media/Datei:The_Incredulity_of_Saint_Thomas.jpg – The feast day of the Apostle Thomas in the calendar of saints is sometimes celebrated on July 3rd, sometimes on December 21st.

As said in a previous post, there are section of this route that are stunning as it runs along the ridges of various valleys on it's way to Winchester and beyond on the section I did from Canterbury to Guildford many parts were incredibly muddy and very hard to traverse even on a gravel bike.

The Dirty habbit at the foot of the climb provides refreshing hill accompaniments

One of my favourite climbs in the area (alongside Coldblow Land further west). From corner of Pilgrims Way it is 1km to the top. Becomes prgressivley steeper, the final ramp is around 20% gradient.

Brutal, brutal climb. Took the life out of me once you're 20%+. To make things worse, if you're wanting to stop, its difficult to do so as cars are coming up and down the road. I didn't stop but this isn't for the weak. However, it's largely 5-7 miles of descending afterwards and the climb is only extremely difficult for a short period.

Anyone who wants to walk the "Pilgrim's Way" with Canterbury Cathedral as their destination, not just as a long-distance hiking trail for pleasure (whether on foot or the faster option by bike), but also consciously follow the medieval tradition as a pilgrim, may find some inspiration on this website =>> https://www.pilgrimways.org.uk/the-pilgrims-way-winchester-southwark-to-canterbury
