In medieval times pilgrims would wander the country, and abroad, visiting shrines. They started breaking pieces off shrines as mementos, and in order to stop this the church created pilgrim's badges, which could be sold. They were very popular, and each shrine had its' own design. The one on the far left of the photo shows a flock of geese, and would have come from the shrine of St Werburgh, patron saint of Chester.
