Leah Stuttard, Pilgrim, Harpist, Singer
St Peter’s Church Horningsea Saturday 24 June at 19.30
Leah Stuttard, a pilgrim, harpist and singer is making a return visit to Horningsea to entertain us with her concert based on the writings of Margery Kempe, a medieval mystic and pilgrim. Margery Kempe was born in Bishops Lynn – now called Kings Lynn. She had 14 children but lived an extraordinary life for a woman of her time. She had visions, went on pilgrimages in England, Europe and to Jerusalem. She dictated her autobiography as she could not write. Leah was herself a pilgrim who walked from London to Walsingham on her own during COVID. She slept one night in Horningsea church. She will be running a singing workshop on Friday 23rd and the singers will take part in her concert. She is also hoping to lead an assembly at Fen Ditton school to talk about medieval women who travelled as pilgrims. In the concert she will play the medieval harp, tell stories about Margery Kempe and sing medieval songs, English Carols and songs from places Margery had visited.
The concert on 24 June starts at 19.30. Entrance by donation at the door (suggested donation £10)
