In September 1841 in Ireland, almost 200,000 people did something very unusual. In just a few weeks, they signed the biggest ‘Bon Voyage’ card in the world; 650 sheets of paper filled with names  to say goodbye to the popular Chief Secretary of Ireland, Lord Morpeth,  as he returned to England.

Now, to celebrate The Gathering, the Morpeth Roll will, for the first time, travel the country through 2013.
