INTRODUCTION

The archives website is being redesigned to accommodate the growing number of its subjects and pages. The next major step is the launch of the online index. As recent readers will know, there have been unexpected and unwelcome interruptions to its progress in the last three months - nothing to do with Walsingham, I must add - and it looks unlikely that work can be properly restarted until the New Year.

We are therefore releasing some miscellaneous stand-alone pages of text and photographs now - in no particular order - to provide something fresh to read!

TO USE THE MAIN SITE AS BEFORE, click here to access the familiar Home Page.

The following are new pages: all these pages have "return to Introduction" at the bottom for the time being; a few also have the full menu bar.
