This website has been created to provide a way of accessing the Shrine's archives. We hope that it will particularly meet the needs of the later generations of pilgrims, and of those who never knew Walsingham in Fr Patten's lifetime, who are curious to know how it all started. The history of the Shrine comes to life in the pages of Our Lady's Mirror and its successor journals: extracts from all editions of the Mirror are now on this site, 1926-1959, and the Friends of Walsingham Occasional Paper, 1955-1961. There are continuous additions to the pages of early photographs and early Shrine publications. New aspects of the history are also being added all the time. |
