July 6, 2022 marked the centenary of the revival in the Church of England of the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, which centuries earlier had made a small Norfolk village the most important centre of pilgrimage in pre-Reformation England after the Virgin Mary appeared to Richeldis de Faverches there in 1061. On that day in 1922 the young and personable Anglican vicar of Walsingham, Alfred Hope Patten, set up an image of Our Lady in his parish church. It was very soon adorned with flowers and other devotional aids which made it look as if it were in Belgium or France rather than in East Anglia – which was exactly what he intended.
