'''Jesmond''' is a suburb of the city of [[Newcastle upon Tyne]], [[England]]. The name comes from ''"the hill of Jesus"'' which and refers to a mound overlooking the Ouseburn Valley, said to have been the site of an apparition of [[Mary]]. As a result, Jesmond became a center for pilgrimage in the middle ages. The mound is near the ruins of a chapel which was the center of the devotion. 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.
