Jake Morris-Campbell: Between the Salt and the Ash
- Main Information
Jake Morris-Campbell travels across England’s North East to explore its deep past and uncertain future.
After inheriting his great-grandfather’s Davy lamp, Jake Morris-Campbell sets out on a pilgrimage from Lindisfarne to Durham Cathedral, moving through a region shaped by Christianity, industry, and class. Along the way, he reflects on thirteen centuries of social change, identity, and Englishness. The journey tests his role as a writer, rejects easy narratives of decline, uncovers neglected histories, and celebrates the place he calls home.
In conversation with Will Mackie.
