The Shrine of Our Lady of England is situated in the Priory Church.

We also have an outdoor shrine which was formerly in a garden opposite the church and is now in a new position at the top of the avenue of hornbeams in the Matt's Wood  Development.

Below: The repositioning of the statue in its new location at the top of the avenue of hornbeams in the Matt's Wood development in July 2008.

Above: Many thanks to the eight strong men who lifted the very heavy statue in and out of the sand-blaster's van and finally lowered the base into the carefully prepared hole, where it has been secured by several hundredweights of concrete.  If you drive up to the cemetery car park you can go into the field and see the results of all this hard work.

Getting the statue ready prior to sandblasting off the many coats of garish paint!
