There are more than sixty shrines in honour of Our Lady in England.  Most were founded in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and from the start they were noted places of pilgrimage. The paths worn across the land by the pilgrims’ steps mark England indelibly as Our Lady’s Dowry

Anne Vail has made her own pilgrimage to many of these fascinating places, exploring and recording their history and their spirituality.  Illustrated with the author’s own delightful drawings, here is a highly practical guide to the shrines, including full details of geographical location, public transport, times of services, devotions and pilgrimages, accommodation and other local attractions.
