RCDEA ArchivesA shrine to Our Lady in Hunstanton in North West Norfolk has been restored and consecrated in memory of Polish troops who helped defend the county from the threat of invasion during the Second World War. When The Church of Our Lady and St Edmund in Hunstanton was built in 1905, it was no larger than a Lady Chapel and could only seat a few people. In 1940, a unit of Polish soldiers, billeted at nearby Heacham, came to man an armoured train that protected the coast as far as King's Lynn. They built an altar and a shrine in the garden and outdoor services were held. Expansion of the church in the 1950s lead to the demolition of the shrine and altar. A Polish lady parishioner, with the support of the Polish and parish communities, decided to rebuild the shrine in the grounds of the Church to commemorate all the troops.

Covering letter for comments on Altar #4.
Fr McCormick is thrilled that his altar is safe. May have suffered a little wear. Manuscript details about the altar are enclosed.

pg2: Photo 2 - annotations regarding the use of the drawer and setting up
pg3: Photo 3 - view inside the altar - placement of chalice, cruets, crucifix, candle stands, collection bowl, ciborium, missal stand. Altar cloths and vestments were put on the top and provided 'padding'
pg4: Photo 4 - view of altar with four people stood behind it (one a nun "in pre Vat II habit"). Fr McCormick still has the altar cloth for 'house mass' use.

Fr McCormick assesses the sketch/plan provided by Mrs Cowton and arrives at the conclusion that it is altar #4.
McCormick, Robert L. Rev (-2015)Mrs Dora Cowton writes. Have received the photographs and will add them to the Travelling Mission notes already held. Provides dimensions for the altar with a description. Fr Fears cannot explain how the altar came to be in Brandon. The previous priest Fr Ivan Rudkin has died; Fr Antony Philpot was PP at Bury St Edmunds and served Brandon, which was also served from Newmarket where Fr Peter Leeming was one of the priests - should she write to them?
RCDEA ArchivesStates that the altar held by the Archives cannot be #3 but it is #4. But, how did it get from Downham Market to Brandon?
McCormick, Robert L. Rev (-2015)Mrs Dora Cowton writes. Probably not altar #3 - describes what is held in the Archives. There are not two altars but one altar and a stand. Will take a photograph.
RCDEA ArchivesHaving spoken to Fr Fears, Fr McCormack thinks that the folding altar is his 3rd version. He wonders how it came to be in the Brandon garage. At one time he gave it to Mr Eric St John-Foti who had bought a farm, restored it ("Hermitage Hall") and opened a museum there. A while later it was all sold but Fr McCormack was not contacted about this at the time.
He is known as "Mac2" as Fr McBride is also known as "Mac".
