October 2006 saw the 75th anniversary of the restoration of the Shrine of Walsingham by Alfred Hope Patten, a leading Anglo-Catholic priest of his generation, who was at the time the parish priest of Walsingham. Dismissed by detractors at the time, Walsingham has since grown into Britain's leading place of pilgrimage for Anglicans and Catholics alike. Similarly, Anglo-Catholicism itself has expanded into a creative force within the Church of England. The need for an authoritative biography of Alfred Hope Patten has long been felt - and this volume meets that need. Michael Yelton was afforded unrestricted access to the archives of the Shrine to produce this definitive work. It sets out previously unpublished material on Hope's family and background and explores many of the myths that he created about himself. It deals with the struggles he had - personal and financial - to establish his dream in the Norfolk countryside, the failure of his vision in other areas, and assesses his legacy to the Church of England.

This is no dry and dusty research project. It is vibrant with humanity, joy, sorrow and the author's overwhelming sense of Our Lady of Walsingham's significance in the Church's mission today. Published to celebrate the 950th anniversary of the foundaion of the Shrine of Our Lady in Walsingham.

A Walsingham Rosary is a book of Bible readings, meditations and prayers based on each of the mysteries of the Rosary – 20 in all - with each being set specifically at a different place in the vicinity of the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. It comes complete with an illustrated guide to praying the Rosary and all the Bible readings and prayers are printed out in full. Line drawings, photographs, maps, directions, and a short description of each site will guide pilgrims round all the places of significance in and around Walsingham. It includes visits to the Anglican, Roman Catholic and Orthodox shrines and the Methodist chapel and so is wholly ecumenical. However, this is first and foremost a book of rosary prayers that can be said anywhere. First published locally in 2000, the Luminous Mysteries have since been added to the Rosary, so the text is expanded and includes visits to further five sites and updated photographs.

An overlooked aspect of the iconography of the Annunciation investigated - Mary's book.

This chapbook consists of a poem cycle rooted in the East Anglian village of Walsingham, in Norfolk; in the visionary experience that made it a medieval pilgrimage site; and in the voices of imagined characters at different moments in its ensuing history.
