  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

Waller 1 An Erasmian Pilgrimage to Walsingham By Gary Waller Professor of Literature, Cultural Studies and Drama Studies Purchase College, State University of New York In the summer of 2006, I undertook what I will explain was an ‘Erasmian’ pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, in remote northern Norfolk. I did so partly for scholarly purposes, partly from nostalgia for peregrinations there in student days. What I discovered--as in the case of so many folk who longen “to goon on pilgrimages”--was an unexpected measure of the uncanny and I think that fellow peregrinators, scholars and travelers alike, might be amused by sharing my discoveries. Erasmus, who made pilgrimages to Walsingham in 1512 and 1524, traveling (as I did) from Cambridge, gave a detailed, though fictionalized, description in one of the dialogues of his Colloquies.1 He went to Walsingham when it was England’s most important medieval Marian pilgrimage site, surpassed only by the shrine of St Thomas a Becket in Canterbury as the most popular place of pilgrimage in England,.

  • The Reformation, the Via Crucis, and the Calvary of Walsingham
    www.boston-catholic-journal.com [email protected] The Reformation, The Via Crucis, and the Calvary of Walsingham We must recognize, in justice, that in the period leading up to, and finally culminating in, the Reformation, there were scandals and abuses within the Church that needed addressing. Far too much wealth had accumulated in the hands of some. This called for both financial reform and social improvement to meet the needs an conditions of the future. Wherever human nature exists, there is always a continuing process of birth, suffering, death, and resurrection at all levels of life. It is true of the Church as well as the individual Christian. In 1534 King Henry VIII, in an abortive attempt to secure his divorce from Queen Catherine, was encouraged by his advisors to take the whole affair of the divorce into his own hands and arrogate to himself powers which had never been the prerogative of the English monarchy, to ignore the teachings of the Church and the Pope in Rome and to declare himself as the supreme head of the church in England, and it was from this decision that so much sin and violent discord followed. Those who openly resisted and refused to acknowledge and sign the Act of Supremacy, priests and people alike, were martyred. St. Thomas More, the Chancellor of England and 1 St. John Fisher are among the most notable, but there were many, many others. Many. No one is England could have foreseen how deeply wounding and widely destructive this severance would actually be.

  • Marriage and Family Week
    Marriage and Family Week at The Basilica of Our Lady of Walsingham, England’s National Shrine of Our Lady Houghton St Giles, Walsingham, Norfolk, NR22 6AL Sunday 12th to Friday 17th August 2018 What is it? The Marriage and Family Week is an event put on by the Basilica for families wanting to come on pilgrimage to the Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady, to grow in faith, to spend time together and with other families, in prayer and relaxation. How will it be structured? The Shrine will be offering its daily liturgy including Mass, Office, Rosary, Adoration and Confession. There will also be specially organised additions such as a low-intensity programme of talks and workshops for parents and children, a renewal of marriage vows, marriage ministry, a blessing of the children, evening Adoration, and a celebratory supper on Thursday evening. Whilst the Shrine is organising some activities, families will be welcome to initiate sports and other entertainment. A popular event last summer was a Rosary walk along the Pilgrim Way on the Feast of the Assumption, followed by a candle-lit procession through the village with parishioners of the various churches in little Walsingham, ending with fireworks at the Anglican Shrine. There will be plenty of spare time scheduled to take advantage of the local places of interest including the sandy beaches and nature reserves alongside other places of interest in the area that make Norfolk a popular holiday destination for families. More information will be provided on your arrival. Accommodation Options Families are invited either to camp by the Shrine or to stay at the Shrine’s accommodation in the village.

  • Walsingham History.Pages
    The History of Walsingham The Making of a Shrine FIVE years before the Norman Conquest, and in the days of St. Edward the Confessor, there lived in the little village of Walsingham Parva, a few miles from the sea on the North Norfolk coast, a pious widow lady, Richeldis, or Recholdis, de Faverches (or Faveraches), who had a great devotion to Our Lady and who desired to serve her in every possible manner. One day, in response to a particularly earnest prayer, the Blessed Virgin took the widow in a vision to Nazareth where she showed her the Holy House of the Annunciation, in which the Archangel Gabriel had delivered the Angelic Salutation, and where the Holy Family lived during the years of Our Lord's upbringing. Three times was this vision repeated, and each time there came the command that the Lady Richeldis should mark well the length and the breadth and the height 1 of 11 of the little house in order that she might set up an exact reproduction of it on her estate at Walsingham, to the praise and honour of Our Lady, and so that all who sought her there might find succour .
