The Pilgrimage of Grace was a popular rising in Yorkshire in the autumn of 1536 in protest against Henry VIII's break with the Roman Catholic Church, the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the policies of the King's chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, as well as other specific political, social and economic grievances.
Il Pellegrinaggio cominciò alla St. James Church presso Louth dopo la preghiera serale del 1º ottobre 1536 poco tempo dopo lo smantellamento dell'abbazia locale.
