Thomas Coryate walked 1,975 miles throughout Europe in 1608 and only used one pair of shoes which he afterwards hung up in Odcombe Church. They disappeared 300 years ago. Recently a replica of them was made in pottery as a commemoration inside the church. For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Coryat
