Now a district of the north east [[England]] city of [[Newcastle upon Tyne]], Jesmond was a centre for pilgrimage in the middle ages. The name means 'Jesus' Mound', and refers to a mound overlooking the Ouseburn Valley, said to have been associated with Jesus' assumed visit to Britain (cf Glastonbury, the Arimethea legend). The mound is occupied by the ruins of a chapel which were the centre of the devotion; nearby is St Mary's Well, a sacred water source. The site is approached from the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle by Pilgrim Street (''vicus Peregrinorum''); and the locations are perfectly aligned with the monastic remains on [[Holy Island]], the sanctuary of [[St Cuthbert]] on a demi-island (or tidal island) off the north [[Northumberland]] coast, the birthplace of English Christianity.
