Walsingham Chronology A Chronology of Walsingham Since the time of its Foundation to the Present Day Walsingham Ever Ancient 1061 – Ever New 2015 The Foundation of the Shrine of the Holy House of Nazareth Walsingham - England 1061 - 1538 1061 The Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham was established in 1061 after Richeldis de Faverches prayed that she might undertake some special work in honour of Our Lady, who instructed her to build a replica of the Holy House of Nazareth to serve as a perpetual memorial of the Annunciation. 1066 The Norman Conquest of England. 1150 The Augustinian Canons built a Priory beside the Holy House. Line Drawing of the Great Priory of Walsingham Ground Plan of the Great Priory of Walsingham A Chronology of Walsingham Page 2 October 2015 – Ver 1.1 1226 Henry III was the first monarch to visit Walsingham. He came on many other occasions and also financially supported the Shrine. Walsingham became a place of pilgrimage for many other Kings and Queens. Edward I paid at least 12 visits, Edward II came in 1315, Edward III came in 1361, King David of Scotland was given safe passage to visit in 1364, Richard II came with his wife Anne in 1383, Henry IV's wife Queen Joan visited in 1427. In 1469, King Edward IV and his wife visited Walsingham, a visit mentioned in the Paston Letters "and as for the King, as I understand, he departyt to Walsingham upon Friday come seven-night, and the Queen also". In 1487 Henry VII during the insurrection of the nobles in favour of Lambert Simnel "came to the place called Walsingham where he prayed devoutly before the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary that he might be preserved from the wiles of his enemies". Henry VII visited Walsingham on other occasions and passed this devotion on to his son, Henry VIII who came on Pilgrimage in 1511, when he walked barefoot to the Shrine and offered Our Lady a necklace of great value. 1347 A Franciscan Friary was founded by Elizabeth de Burgh, Countess of Clare. Remains of the Franciscan Friary, the largest remains of a medieval Franciscan Friary in England 1360 Slipper Chapel built. This is the last of the Pilgrim Chapels on way to Walsingham. (Approx) 1465 A Ballad printed by Richard Pynson recounts in 21 verses an account of the miraculous foundation at Walsingham. "Of this chapell se here the fundacyon, Bylded the yere of Crystes incarnacyon, A thousand complete syxty and one, The tyme of sent Edward kyng of this region..." 1479 William of Worcester records the earliest extant details and measurements of the Shrine, the Priory Church and other buildings. "The length of the chapel of the blessed Mary consists of 7 yards 30 inches, its width of 4 yards 10 inches. The length of the whole church of Walsingham as far as the beginning of the chancel consists of 136 paces". 1485 The Red Mount Chapel, King's Lynn built, a chapel visited by Walsingham pilgrims from the North and from the Continent 1513 Erasmus, the Renaissance scholar, visited Walsingham and wrote a detailed account of his Pilgrimage. He described the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham as "a little image, remarkable neither for size, material, or execution". A Chronology of Walsingham Page 3 October 2015 – Ver 1.1 The Prayer of Erasmus (which he used as he knelt before the Shrine and still used today) O, Alone of all women, Mother and Virgin, Mother most blessed, Virgin most pure, we salute you, we honour you as best we can with our humble offerings. May your Son grant us that imitating your most holy manners, we also, by the Grace of the Holy Ghost may deserve to conceive the Lord Jesus spiritually in our inmost soul, and once conceived, never to lose Him. Amen. The Dissolution of the Monasteries and the Destruction of the Shrine 1534 - 1538 1534 On 18th September the Canons of Walsingham acknowledged the Royal Supremacy - one of the first religious houses in England to submit. 1537 The sub-prior Nicholas Mileham and layman George Guisborough were executed in Walsingham on 31st May. The "Walsingham Martyrs". 1538 The Statue of Our Lady of Walsingham handed over to the King Henry VIII's Commissioners on 14th July. "In the moneth of July, the images of our Ladye of Walsingham and Ipswich were brought up to London with all the jewelles that honge about them ... and they were burnt at Chelsey by my Lord Privie Seal". John Hussey wrote to Lord Lisle in 1538: "July 18th: This day our late Lady of Walsingham was brought to Lambhithe (Lambeth) where was both my Lord Chancellor and my Lord Privy Seal, with many virtuous prelates, but there was offered neither oblation nor candle: what shall become of her is not determined."[7] Two chroniclers, Hall and Speed, suggest that the actual burning did not take place until September. 1538 The Deed of Surrender of the Priory to the King's Commissioners was signed on 4th August. The Deed of Surrender where by the Great Priory of Walsingham was dissolved in 1538 was discovered in Cambridge, and the wax image of the Great Seal of The Priory of Walsingham was attached to the bottom showing the image of Our Lady of Walsingham. This was the first image seen since the statue was desecrated in 1538. A Chronology of Walsingham Page 4 October 2015 – Ver 1.1 Wax Seal of the Great Priory of Walsingham Walsingham Slept 1538 - 1896 1564 The buildings were looted and largely destroyed, but the memory of it was less easy to eradicate. Sir Roger Townsend a local landowner responsible for the suppression, wrote to Thomas Cromwell in 1564 that a woman of nearby Wells (now called Wells- Next-The-Sea), had declared that a miracle had been done by the statue after it had been carried away to London. He had the woman put in the stocks on market day to be abused by the village folk but concluded "I cannot perceyve but the seyd image is not yett out of the sum of ther heddes."[1] 1578 Queen Elizabeth I visited Walsingham, accompanied by Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel. Later Philip Howard returned to the Catholic Faith, as a result of which he was sentenced to death. The poem "The Wracks of Walsingham" has been attributed to him. In the wracks of Walsingham Whom should I choose But the Queen of Walsingham to be my guide and muse. Then, thou Prince of Walsingham, Grant me to frame Bitter plaints to rue thy wrong, Bitter woe for thy name. Bitter was it so to see The seely sheep Murdered by the ravenous wolves While the shepherds did sleep. Bitter was it, O to view The sacred vine, Whilst the gardeners played all close, Rooted up by the swine. A Chronology of Walsingham Page 5 October 2015 – Ver 1.1 Bitter, bitter, O to behold The grass to grow Where the walls of Walsingham So stately did show. Such were the worth of Walsingham While she did stand, Such are the wracks as now do show Of that Holy Land. Level, level, with the ground The towers do lie, Which, with their golden glittering tops, Pierced once to the sky. Where were gates are no gates now, The ways unknown Where the press of peers did pass While her fame was blown. Owls do scrike where the sweetest hymns Lately were sung, Toads and serpents hold their dens Where the palmers did throng. Weep, weep, O Walsingham, Whose days are nights, Blessings turned to blasphemies, Holy deeds to despites. Sin is where Our Lady sat, Heaven is turned to hell, Satan sits where Our Lord did sway -- Walsingham, O farewell! The “Lonely Arch” The East End of the Church. All that remains of the Great Priory of the Walsingham A Chronology of Walsingham Page 6 October 2015 – Ver 1.1 1778 The Catholic Relief Act repealed some of the restrictions on Roman Catholics. A Roman Catholic Mission was established in King's Lynn. 1781 John Wesley preached in Walsingham on 30th October. In his Journal he wrote "had there been a grain of virtue or public spirit in Henry the Eighth, these noble buildings need not have run to ruin". 1829 The Catholic Emancipation Act removed most of the legal disabilities on Roman Catholics. 1833 The Oxford Movement began in the Church of England 1850 The restoration of the Catholic Hierarchy. 1887 The formation of the Guild of Our Lady of Ransom. 1894 Legal negotiations started on 5th January between Henry Lee Warner of Walsingham Abbey and Miss Charlotte Boyd to purchase the Slipper Chapel. 1894 Charlotte Boyd was received into the Roman Catholic Church on 22nd September. The Restoration 1896 - 2015 1896 Charlotte Boyd legally acquired the Slipper Chapel on 26th June. Chapel at Houghton Le Dale, Norfolk, 1809 1896 Charlotte Boyd conveyed the Slipper Chapel to Rev. Henry Worth of Downside Abbey on 25th July. 1897 By Rescript, dated 6th February, of Pope Leo XIII, the ancient sanctuary of Our Lady of Walsingham was restored at King's Lynn. (Walsingham was part of the King’s Lynn parish at this date) A Chronology of Walsingham Page 7 October 2015 – Ver 1.1 Translation of rescript of Pope Leo XIII “We beg to remind His Eminence, the Cardinal Vicar, of the blessing by His Holiness on the 6th, of the accompanying statue, chosen by Your Eminence for the reconstitution of the ancient shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, King's Lynn, Norfolk, in the Diocese of Northampton, England, which was earnestly and humbly asked of Your Eminence by the Right Reverend Father Philip Fletcher of the diocese of Southwark, and Master of the Guild of Our Lady of Ransom for the conversion of England, and Father George Wrigglesworth, Parish Priest of Our Lady's, King's Lynn, Norfolk, diocese of Northampton.” At an audience with His Holiness, the 6th Feb: 1897, Our Most Holy Lord Leo P.P.XIII, granting this petition, was graciously pleased to approve and commend as praiseworthy the selected statue of the Mother of God, for the purpose stated.

  • Our Lady of Walsingham (Anglican)
    Our Lady of Walsingham (Anglican) Father Alfred Hope Patten OSA, appointed as the Church of England Vicar of Walsingham in 1921, ignited Anglican interest in the pre-Reformation pilgrimage. It was his idea to create a new statue of Our Lady of Walsingham based on the image depicted on the seal of the medieval priory. In 1922 the statue was set up in the Parish Church of St Mary and regular pilgrimage devotion followed. From the first night that the statue was placed there, people gathered around it to pray, asking Mary to join her prayers with theirs. Soon thousands of Anglican pilgrims visited the site each year and its popularity continues to grow. Between 1931 and 1937, opposite the Knights Gate, was built the new Anglican Shrine that contains a modern interpretation of the original Holy House, Holy Well and statue of Our Lady. Although Father Hope Patten believed the site to be that of the original Holy House, a myth that continues to this day, the area it covers is now known to have once been an Almonry for the medieval Priory. In addition local legend states that, when excavated, the Holy Well contained within the building was discovered to be a typical medieval domestic well that contained many items of a distinctly non-religious nature. Throughout the 1920s the trickle of pilgrims became a flood of large numbers for whom, eventually, the Pilgrim Hospice was opened (a hospice is the name of a place of hospitality for pilgrims) and, in 1931, a new Holy House encased in a small pilgrimage church was dedicated and the statue translated there with great solemnity.

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,.

  • Our Lady of Ipswich: Devotion, Dissonance, and the Agitation of Memory at a Forgotten Pilgrimage Site As Accepted for Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository Our Lady of Ipswich: devotion, dissonance, and the agitation of memory at a forgotten pilgrimage site As accepted for Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute Richard D.G. Irvine Abstract: This article traces the social life of Our Lady of Ipswich, a statue taken to be destroyed during the English Reformation, and the possibility of pilgrimage in the context of dramatic urban change and loss of place memory. Arguing that iconoclasm is not an end-point, we see that the life of the image is not extinguished on the pyre, but is set into motion by conflict surrounding its significance, efficacy, and survival. Indeed, it is not simply the act of iconoclasm that animates the statue; rather, such agonistic animation is an ongoing process which involves both those who reject and those who are devoted to the image. My argument is that the potency of contemporary images of Our Lady of Ipswich relies on an active cultivation of dissonance: the consciousness of religious schism; the disjuncture between Ipswich’s historic importance and the perceived failures of twentieth-century development; and the juxtaposition between devotional pilgrimage destination and disenchanted shopping space. 0 Our Lady of Ipswich: devotion, dissonance, and the agitation of memory at a forgotten pilgrimage site Lady Lane In the county of Suffolk in the East of England, down a narrow passage at the end of one of Ipswich’s pedestrianised zones, stuck above head height on the brown brick wall of a former supermarket, is a bronze statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus on her knee.1 The statue marks the location of a shrine to Our Lady of Grace, closed in 1538 when church reformers took the statue of Mary from there to London to be burned.

  • A Regular Part of Our Pilgrimage Is a Visit to the Roman Catholic Shrine Based on the Slipper Chapel, a Mile South of Walsingham Village
    A regular part of our pilgrimage is a visit to the Roman Catholic shrine based on the Slipper Chapel, a mile south of Walsingham village. The chapel is so called because before the Reformation it was the last stopping place before pilgrims reached the shrine; here they would remove their footwear following the long tradition of worshippers taking off their shoes “because the place where you are standing is holy ground.” (In England today people often think of worshipping barefoot as a distinctively Muslim practice, but for many Christians in the Middle East and Asia it is a tradition they have inherited from the early days of Christianity.) Although pilgrimage to Walsingham never completely ceased after the destruction of the shrine by Henry VIII, it was really only in the early 20th century that the restoration of the shrine began to be possible. Unfortunately the division of the Reformation was reflected in the creation of two shrines: in the village itself by the Vicar of Walsingham, Hope Patten, and at the Slipper Chapel which had been given to the Roman Catholic Church in 1896. Although the existence of two shrines continues to be a painful reminder of continuing conflict between Christians and of past persecution, it also provides a powerful incentive to prayer for unity and an opportunity for pilgrims to commit themselves to it. The recent signing of an ecumenical covenant under the single title of “The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham”* is not only a sign of how interchurch relations have moved from hostility through rivalry to cooperation but also a challenge to overcome the remaining obstacles to reconciliation between divided Christians.
