My post on this shrine from last year, again with links to my previous piece about the devotion, can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Kersey
The Suffolk Churches website has a lengthy and illustrated account of the church at Suffolk Churches
Their essay includes a translation of the 1464 grant of an indulgence to pilgrims by Pope Pius II. The text of the bull implies that the church was attracting considerable numbers of pilgrims and that miracles were frequent occurrences.
Kersey Church
The tower was completed in 1481

The mutilated niche which contained the statue of Our Lady of Pity can be seen on the left on the outer wall of the north aisle

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