The Pilgrimage now moves to the first of a series of Marian shrines in East Anglia, with that of Our Lady of Grace at Ipswich. This was one of the most celebrated amongst the English shrines of Our Lady and one that has not only been revived in modern times but where there is also a strong likelihood that the original votive statue still survives.
The shrine has been linked to a royal wedding in the town in 1297, and was the object of pilgrimages by Queen Katherine of Aragon in 1517 and by King Henry VIII in 1522.

Our Lady of Grace at Ipswich pray for The King and The Queen and for us all.
