Today the virtual Marian pilgrimage reaches Norwich and the parochial shrine of Our Lady of the Oak in the churchyard of St Martin’s church in the northern part of the medieval city. I rather doubt that it was coincidence that made Canon Stevenson chose a shrine based in an oak tree for May 29th, Oak Apple Day. If it was coincidental then it was certainly a fortuitous choice.
My article from last year about the church and its arboreal statue of the Virgin can be seen at Our Lady of the Oak at St Martins Norwich
