The first of these is the now lost one of Our Lady of Pity intgeRoch close to the harbour in Dover. This was especially frequented by travellers to and from Calais and the continent, either seeking a safe crossing or giving thanks for one.
My previous posts with a detailed account I wrote in 2020 and other links can be accessed from Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Pity in the Rock at Dover
To those I would add an article from the website of Dover Museun which gives more detail about the decay of the site from the later sixteenth century and its final destruction in the early nineteenth century. This can be seen at Archcliffe Chapel Biography.

This painting dated to 1520-40 shows Dover harbour and the castle at a time when the shrine of Our Lady was still actively frequented by travellers
