Our Lady of Walsingham is a title given to Mary, the mother of Jesus, who is the patron saint of our parish church. On Wednesday, July 2nd, our rector Fr Shane Griffiths will celebrate a Holy Communion service in her honour at Dunsfold Church at 9.30am. The title 'Our Lady of Walsingham' refers to an apparition of Mary that was experienced by Richeldis de Faverches, a devout English noblewoman, in 1061 in the village of Walsingham, Norfolk. According to tradition, Lady Richeldis was instructed to build a replica of the Holy House—the home of the Holy Family in Nazareth. This structure became a shrine and a significant site of pilgrimage, later entrusted to the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine sometime between 1146 and 1174. Our Lady of Walsingham is venerated by Anglicans and Roman Catholics.
