Travelling south from Wakefield the Pilgrimage crosses the battlefield ( if, saving current historical debate, it really was a battle), the remains of Sandal Castle and Walton Hall, the ancestral home of Edmund Waterton, the nineteenth century scholar of medieval English Marian devotion, who like Fr Bridgett did so much to recover our awareness of these devotions. Avoiding any outlaws lurking in Barnsdale
in the tradition of Robin Hood, or any stray wildcat likely to pounce on an unfortunate fifteenth century knight near Barnborough, the pilgrim reaches the town, now of courses a city, of Doncaster. Here in the Carmelite friary was the shrine of Our Lady of Doncaster. Today, only a few minutes walk up the hill to the south is its modern recreation in the Catholic Church of St Peter-in-Chains.

My post from last year, together with links to longer ones from previous years, including the possible ‘King under the Post Office’, can be viewed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Doncaster
The current Wikipedia entry about the history of the shrine and its recreation can be seen at Our_Lady_of_Doncaster

Jesu mercy, Mary pray
