              Long interested in Our Lady's cause - 1911 founded the "Society of Lourdes", 1914 Celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes at the Pro-Cathedral kensington, 1923 met the bishop at "Hotel de la Chapelle" in Lourdes. Proposes a pilgrimage to Walsingham and is asking permission for Benediction at the Slipper Chapel. Fr Gray (Fakeham) suggests this has to be sought from the Bishop.

Some 30 years ago the Shrine of Our L. of W. was opened with blessing of Pope Leo XIII at King's Lynn, to take the place, for practical purposes, of an old Walsingham. The H. Father himself selected and blessed the statue of O. L. of W. It is now in this minitaure replica of the H. House of Lourdes in the Church of K.L. There is a pilgrimage every year conducted by the Guild of O. L. of Ransom. on [?] Thursday in honour of O. L. of W. as recreated at K.L. This one, therefore, is the official pilgrimage to O. L. of W. & I do not wish it otherwise. Of course, I cannot prevent [?] [?] visits to the old ruins which are now in private Prot. hands but they cannot be public or official - the Slipper Chapel is unusable. with blessing "

              Catholic Association and herself are both unaware of a Shrine at King's Lynn. Fr Gray had provided details and Lady Gurney[?] had written that the priest from King's Lynn and 60 pilgrims had gone to the abbey ruins last summer. She thought it was a similar situation with that at Westminster Abbey where many Catholics go on the feast of St Edward. Hopes that the bishop will consider renewing greater devotion to Our Lady of Walsingham.

              Miss V Gavin writing from Williamson's Hotel, Hunstanton.Re Walsingham, it is a matter of regret that the Catholics possess nothing which might be used as a shrine or site for a church. Advising the bishop of her discovery that a property, "The Friary", is to be let and is situated amongst the ruins of the friary itself. Walsingham is becoming an Anglican stronghold with the new shrine, a hospice for pilgrims, a repository and a workshop.

              Ernest Oldmeadow having held back the tide of correspondence regarding Walsingham for many years, suggests that Pope Leo XIII's decision [relating to the shrine at Kings Lynn] was only a provisional one. There are too many catholics going abroad on their pilgrmages. The time is right (no difficulty in getting some money togther) for Walsingham and Holywell to come into their own. This can be done without causing unpleasantmness with the Anglicans.

              The policy on this was formulated by Bp Riddell. The seat of the old Walsingham shrine was utterly destroyed - nothing remains except for some ruins in Protestant hands. King's Lynn was where Leo XIII placed the shrine. What the Anglicans do is their affair. Some Catholics think differently and advertise their pilgrimages in the Tablet - until he contacted the Tablet. Continue to remind enquirers that the shrine is at King's Lynn, an old port through which the bulk of pilgrims from the Continent made their way to the famous old Shrine.

              Intends to make his pilgrimage to the ancient site of the shrine of Our Ladye [sic] ofWalsingham. As the Slipper Chapel is now diocesan property can he have permission to say private mass there, will also take a small Altar statue.

              He acknowledges the bishop refusal to grant his request. Facts are: he makes a pilgrimage to Walsingham every year and occasionally goes on to Kong's Lynn where Fr Stokes kindly allows him to say mass at the shrine. Cannot understand why it is wrong to visit the ancient site at Walsingham and kneel where hundreds of our forefathers went. He is distressed that there will soon be no catholic presence at Walsingham once the present provost Vicar leaves or dies.
