Marian Pilgrimage- Our Lady of the Park at Liskeard

The Pilgrimage makes its one visit to the further south west and to the shrine of Our Lady of the Park at Liskeard. 

My article about it from last year, and those from previous years, incorporate several links to websites about the site and attempts to re-establish it as a place of pilgrimage. I will say that some of those moves do reveal something of ‘Celtic’ and ‘New Age’ spirituality which are things about which I am somewhat supicious. That is not to deny the long established tradition of devotion there, or the good intentions of those seeking a revival.

 

Last year’s post can be accessed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of the Park at Liskeard

I will also add the link to a Facebook site on Cornish Holy Wells. This commences with pictures of the Lady Park well. The text suggests that the medieval chapel was incorporated into the house at Lady Park, and one of the photographs indicates the proximity of the house and the well. 

The site also indicates the frequency of such wells in Cornwall and can be seen at Cornish holy, ancient, healing, and historic wells | Ladye Park, near Moorswater, Liskeard

Another post on that site indicates that Liskeard abounded in holy wells, notaably another one still known as Lady Well in the town centre that was being ‘searched’, presumably for coins given in offering, by the local authorities in 1574-5. This can be seen at Holy Wells of Cornwall *Group* | Lady Well, Liskeard

May Our Lady of the Park at Liskeard intercede for us and our intentions
