Further to the east in Suffolk lies the town of Woodbridge where according to Waterton there was in the churchyard wall of the Augustinian Priory a statue of Our Lady which was much resorted to on account of its miraculous powers. This appears to be all that is recorded about it.
Founded in 1193 and suppressed in 1537 the priory was quite small and clearly localised in its interests.
The description of the priory by both the VCH Suffolk at Houses of Austin canons: Priory of Woodbridge and on Wikipedia at Woodbridge Priory make no mention of such a statue or devotion. Since 1864 the site of the priory has been occupied by Woodbridge School.
May Our Lady of Woodbridge pray for The King and all the Royal Family and for us all
