Our Lady at the Pillar St Edmundsbury

The virtual Marian pilgrimage now returns to Suffolk, and to the great monastic centre of Bury St Edmunds. The focus on this particular pilgrimage is not the abbey but the adjacent parish church of St Mary and a later fifteenth century devotion to Our Lady of the Pillar in its south aisle.

I wrote about this last year in my post on Our Lady at the Pillar St Edmundsbury

There is more about the abbey church and precinct, of which St Mary’s was a part, at MonasteryQuest™ Pt 1: the twenty richest houses at the dissolution from the website stainedglassattitudes, where the abbey is ranked as the third richest in the country.
