from Our Lady's Mirror January 1926

The headpiece of this paper, drawn by a local artist [Lily Dagless], depicts the Holy Spirit, the Divine Spouse of our Beloved Lady, who is seated on her throne with the Holy Child on her knee, as represented in the venerable image of Our Lady at Walsingham. Supporting the throne, on the right hand, is S. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and Patron of the Church of Great Walsingham, while on the left stands S. Giles, the Guardian of Houghton-in-the-Dale.

from Our Lady's Mirror 1950 Winter number

The heading of the Mirror has been used since we first produced this quarterly, and the design drawn by Miss Lily Dagless is a record of the days when the Shrine was in S. Mary’s and portrays the union of the three Parishes ... Now, of course, the Shrine is in its own Church and separate from the Parishes, but we think all our readers like the old design, a kind of sentiment. If, however, a new one is wanted, what about sending designs the same size and shape?

Apparently no one did want to change it and it remained the same for the life of the paper.
