The Walsingham Pilgrimage season has now ended. The
last organised visit was made by the Second Norwich Anglo-Catholic Congress
on October 12th. This was such a typical 'day pilgrimage' that we think
it may be of interest to those who have only made the greater pilgrimage,
and we are reproducing the account given in the local press. [The article
is printed in full on the last page of this Mirror.]
We are trying
to form a little Marian Museum in Walsingham, to show the devotion of
past and present ages to Our Lady. Please send any cards or pictures.
Knowing that
"many of our readers poke about in second-hand book shops, and if
they don't do so at present, we would ask them to do so", in order
to keep an eye open for anything relating to Walsingham, its Church and
Shrines. Please send Fr Hope Patten details of the items and sources.
We believe there are many plans and prints of the early buildings to be
found and "it would be rendering a great service to the building
up of local history" if members and their friends would undertake
research for us and copy any references to Walsingham they may meet with
during their reading.
This summer
two tombs were found in the South of France - one near Grenoble and one
near Marseilles - both recording that their subjects had been pilgrims
to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.
Photograph postcards of the Society's banner can be had from the Church
and Pilgrim Shop.
