In his time, St Robert was known across Europe for his wisdom and his acts of service. Pilgrims travelled from far and wide, and yet he kept a very special place in his life for the people of Knaresborough. On 24 September, it will be 800 years since his death and a number of events have been designed to reawaken an appreciation of who St Robert was and what he stood for.
