From Reading, the Pilgrimage now crosses the Thames to go to what was one of the most important and also best recorded Marian shines of mediaeval England. That was the shrine of Our Lady of Caversham, and having been exquisitely restored in the twentieth century, is one can visit today, but not in its original location
My post from last year, which links to previous ones which give quite a detailed account of the history of the shrine, and of its recreation, can be accessed by following the links from Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Caversham

The Norman style chapel built in the 1950s attached to the Edwardian church

The chapel is so technically accurate one could believe it to be twelfth not twentieth century

May Our Lady of Caversham intercede for us and our intentions
Jesu mercy, Mary pray
