In the late thirteenth century, an unlikely group of pilgrims set off from Swansea for the tomb of St Thomas Cantilupe at Hereford Cathedral. William de Briouze, the Anglo-Norman Lord of Gower, and his wife Lady Mary were accompanied by William Cragh - a Welsh outlaw who had attacked and burned their castle at Oystermouth and had been sentenced to death by hanging. But Cragh's execution had ended unexpectedly: the gallows broke, and he was later restored to life by St Thomas, a former bishop of Hereford. And now Cragh travelled together with Lord and Lady de Briouze to the tomb of this new saint to give thanks for what they understood as a miracle. The hanging and revival of William Cragh was the focus of a recent AHRC-funded research project, 'City Witness: Place and Identity in Medieval Swansea', which used the story as a starting-point for exploring place, belief and identities in medieval Swansea and the March of Wales. Now, this project will use William Cragh's journey from Swansea to Hereford as inspiration for a new tourism route, giving visitors and local communities the opportunity to step into the rich medieval heritage of the region.The hybrid driving-walking route will begin in Swansea, where Cragh was hanged, moving on to a series of medieval sites across the Wales-England border region - such as Neath Abbey, Patrishow Church and Goodrich Castle - which will allow us to tell a compelling story about Cragh, St Thomas and the medieval culture of the March of Wales. Mirroring the pilgrimage of Cragh and the de Briouzes, the route will end in Hereford, where the shrine of St Thomas still stands in the medieval cathedral, and other spectacular survivals, such as the Mappa Mundi and medieval books, offer glimpses of their world.Centred on a partnership between the University of Southampton and Hereford Cathedral, the project will develop exciting, multi-media interpretation resources linked to an interactive online map, as well as a print guide / interpretation booklet. 2020 will see the 700th anniversary of the canonisation of St Thomas, and the new pilgrimage route will form a key element of its commemoration and celebration. Hereford Cathedral will provide in-kind support and use of archive resources (such as the spectacular Mappa Mundi and medieval books) to help enhance the core research produced by the 'City Witness' project.Visitors exploring the new route - whether driving, walking, or participating 'virtually' via technology - will be able to engage with the multiple layers of heritage in the region, including:*Immersive engagement with the William Cragh story, interpreted in stages along the route*Accessible information about historical, cultural and political contexts in the medieval March of Wales*Detail about St Thomas, his miracles, and the role of faith and popular devotion in medieval culture*Encounters with historic medieval sites, including locations described by writers such as Gerald of Wales and Walter Map and in documents from Hereford Cathedral and the St Thomas canonisation archive*Interpretation of the landscape and its cultural meaning*Spiritual reflections (for participants with a religious faith), composed for each location by senior clergy at Hereford Cathedral*Multi-media resources, including images, video and audio recordings (for example, the liturgy for St Thomas sung by Hereford Cathedral choir)The Swansea-Hereford route project seeks to respond to specific needs and challenges identified during and after the 'City Witness' research project, and will bring a range of cultural, wellbeing and economic benefits to visitors and host communities in the region. In particular, it will fold Swansea city centre more firmly into heritage tourism routes in south Wales, increase visitors to Hereford and its cathedral, and develop the potential of small churches / chapels and local historic sites in the region as often under-exploited cultural and tourism assets.

在十三世纪后期，一群不太可能的朝圣者从斯旺西出发，前往赫里福德大教堂的圣托马斯坎蒂鲁普之墓。威廉·德·布里乌兹（William de Briouze），盎格鲁-诺曼的高尔勋爵（Lord of Gower）和他的妻子玛丽夫人（Lady Mary）由威廉·克拉格（William Crigh）陪同。克拉格是威尔士的一个亡命之徒，曾袭击并烧毁了他们在奥伊斯特茅斯的城堡，被判处绞刑。但克拉格的死刑却出人意料地结束了：绞刑架被打破了，他后来被赫里福德的前主教圣托马斯恢复了生命。现在，克拉和德·布里乌兹勋爵和夫人一起前往这位新圣人的坟墓，感谢他们所理解的奇迹。威廉·克雷格的绞刑和复活是最近AHRC资助的研究项目的重点，“城市证人：在中世纪斯旺西的地方和身份”，它使用的故事作为出发点探索地方，信仰和身份在中世纪斯旺西和威尔士的三月。现在，这个项目将以威廉·克雷格从斯旺西到赫里福德的旅程为灵感，设计一条新的旅游路线，让游客和当地社区有机会走进该地区丰富的中世纪遗产。这条混合驾驶-步行路线将开始于克雷格被绞死的斯旺西，然后前往威尔士-英格兰边境地区的一系列中世纪遗址--比如尼思修道院，帕特里肖教堂和古德里奇城堡-这将使我们能够讲述一个引人注目的故事，关于克拉格，圣托马斯和中世纪文化的三月威尔士。这条路线的终点将是赫里福德，那里的托马斯神殿仍然矗立在中世纪的大教堂里，其他壮观的幸存者，如Mappa Mundi和中世纪的书籍，可以让你瞥见他们的世界。该项目以南安普顿大学和赫里福德大教堂之间的合作为中心，将发展令人兴奋的，多媒体口译资源与互动式在线地图以及印刷版指南/口译小册子相连。2020年将是圣托马斯封圣700周年，新的朝圣路线将成为其纪念和庆祝活动的关键元素。赫里福德大教堂将提供实物支持和档案资源的使用（如壮观的Mappa Mundi和中世纪书籍），以帮助加强“城市见证”项目的核心研究。探索新路线的游客-无论是开车、步行还是通过技术“虚拟”参与-都将能够参与该地区的多层次遗产，包括：* 沉浸式参与威廉·克雷格的故事，沿着沿着分阶段进行解释 * 关于中世纪威尔士三月的历史，文化和政治背景的可解释信息 * 关于圣托马斯，他的奇迹，以及信仰和大众奉献在中世纪文化中的作用的细节 * 与历史悠久的中世纪遗址相遇，包括威尔士的杰拉尔德（Gerald of Wales）和沃尔特·唐飞（Walter Map）等作家所描述的地点，以及赫里福德大教堂和圣托马斯封圣档案中的文件 * 对景观及其文化意义的解读 * 精神反思（为有宗教信仰的与会者），由赫里福德大教堂的高级神职人员为每个地点创作 * 多媒体资源，包括图像、视频和录音（例如，赫里福德大教堂唱诗班为圣托马斯唱的礼拜仪式）斯旺西-赫里福德路线项目旨在应对“城市证人”研究项目期间和之后确定的具体需求和挑战，并将为该地区的游客和东道社区带来一系列文化，福祉和经济利益。特别是，它将更坚定地将斯旺西市中心纳入南威尔士的遗产旅游路线，增加前往赫里福德及其大教堂的游客，并开发该地区小教堂/小教堂和当地历史遗迹的潜力，因为它们往往是开发不足的文化和旅游资产。
