Progress so far: value of estate established at £330,000. Survey of area identified 158 Catholics - possibly 200 in total. Plan to refurbish the house - sufficient for an Oratory/Chapel in one large ground floor room. The can seek a priest to reside temporarily; he could say mass in a local hall. Hope then to be able to persuade the Bishop to build a church in the village. Fr Nesden is kept informed.
CorrespondentManaging demand in King's Lynn; advice on whether to have a Mass Centre in Dersingham (8 miles away); could provide a Mass once a month. Fr Brendan is in agreement.
manuscript note: "Phoned saying NO to Dersingham - COMPLAINED bitterly! A[?]"
Dersingham people may be confused about the availability of Mass. Need to discuss - note that it is usually the Bishop that agrees changes to Mass provision and they would need to go into the Year Book. Whilst Fr Brian [?] may be wiling to help, the Sisters have first call and then Fr Shryane also relies on him to help out in King's Lynn.
Shryane, Anthony Rev[St Cecilia]Church is completed and mostly furnished. Great welcome from the community - 60 at Sunday Mass. "...although I believe the church and house will almost certainly remain twice the size it might have been." Fr Nesden helpful and kind. Looking forward to seeing the Bishop on March 23.
manuscript annotation: "Am I still on the list? Have heard nothing from Poringland since leaving Cromer."
