Our Lady of Walsingham

We will celebrate Mass at 5pm, with a pot-luck feast to follow.

The appearance of the blessed Virgin to the Lady Richeldis in 1061 AD resulted in Richeldis building, at the Virgin’s request, a replica of Mary’s house where she received the Annunciation. The Church added a priory in the following century, and the site went on to become one of the greatest medieval shrines.
