Newman's London: A pilgrim handbook

THE STRONG AND CONTINUING INTEREST in John Henry Newman, particularly following his beatification by Pope Benedict XVI on his visit to Britain in 2010, inspired the idea that pilgrims might find it useful to have a guide to places in London associated with him: where he was born, where he grew up, where he spent childhood summers ... the places of which he had warm memories, later recalled during his long life. The cities with which Newman is chiefly associated are of course Oxford and Birmingham, so this book obviously has information on these. Guidebooks to both cities give due attention to this great figure. But the visitor to London who seeks information about Newman has hitherto not been given much help. This book is an attempt to remedy that. The text is designed not only to help the Newman pilgrim on travels, but also to be read simply for enjoyment, and to provide background information on Newman's life and the importance he has in our country's Christian story.
