Our Lady of Walsingham is a title of Mary the mother of Jesus. The title derives from the belief that Mary appeared in a vision to Richeldis de Faverches a devout English noblewoman in 1061 in the village of Walsingham in Norfolk England. Lady Richeldis had a Holy House built in Walsingham which became a shrine and place of pilgrimage. In passing on his guardianship of the Holy House Richeldis’s son Geoffrey left instructions for the building of a priory in Walsingham.
