Our Lady of Allingtree


Before the virtual Marian pilgrimage leaves the Severn valley and its hinterland I will include in this post and the next two small shrines which doubtless had a local cleientele and maybe picked up visitors who were travelling along the roads of late medieval England.

The first is Our Lady of Allingtree, about which I can say nothing other than that it was by the road leading west from Hereford on the south bank of the Wye towards Abergavenny and the Marcher lordships.

Near the site of the medieval chapel there is a modern Catholic church of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs built in 1996 and served by the monks of Belmont Abbey which lies a short distance to the west. 

The parish website is here

Our Lady of Allingtree Pray for us
