“On the ends of the front pew in the church of St Peter and St Paul, Swaffham, England, there are two carvings. One is of a muzzled dog and the other of a man with a pack on his back.
These were carved in the 19th century and show John Chapman and his little dog. John Chapman is better known as the Pedlar of Swaffham”
Packing
But why “The Pedlar’s Pack”?
The story goes that after a dream, John Chapman, the pedlar, walked to London to seek his fortune but instead found the treasure in his own back garden.
The Pedlar’s Pack aims to help us to find “the treasure at home”
What’s in The Pedlar's Pack?
The Pack is a depository; The Pack is a place for reflections; The Pack is a place to grow; The Pack is a work in progress.
