Historic procession in Norfolk town honours Our Lady

The annual Red Mount Procession took place in King’s Lynn on Sunday August 18 in a ceremony carried out since 1897 when the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham was restored in the Holy House by Pope Leo XIII, reports Fr Peter Rollings.


Over 100 parishioners took part in the procession from Our Lady’s Church to the 15th Century Chapel of Our Lady of the Red Mount in the town’s historic Walks park. Taking part in the event were also local Anglican clergy including the retired Bishop of Richborough, Norman Banks.

Also taking part were the King’s Lynn Morris who danced to honour Our Lady. On the return to church Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given followed by an enjoyable Tea in the rectory garden (and more Morris dancing!)
