Anglican Apology[edit]

In discussion with an Anglican friend they informed me that the Anglican church had apologised for the destruction of Our Lady's shine at Walsingham. However, I cannot find a public record of this. Can anyone provide further information? SlipperAndBarefoot 18:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I very much doubt that this is correct. What is meant by the "Anglican church" and who is the apology to? Anglicanus (talk) 03:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising[edit]

This article may do little more than list Anglican parishes with some link to OLW and as such may be advertising rather than being an article in and of itself. The images and style of this article is similar in feel and type to another article about Walsingham and OLW and, again, this feels like unified advertising from a central source rather than being an appropriate article. See Walsingham. I mean no disrespect by this although I would appreciate gearing comments.Spiorad (talk) 16:38, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if 'advertising' is the correct term but the article is certainly overlaiden with links in a way that seems to be contrary to Wiki policies on links. I think they need to be reduced, especially if the links are only to websites of churches with OLW statues etc. and that is the only relevance of the link. Both the Walsingham articles suffer, it seems, from too much editing by OLW enthusiasts. Anglicanus (talk) 03:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More details needed[edit]

"The title derives from belief that Mary appeared in a vision to a Saxon noblewoman in the village of Walsingham in Norfolk, England." More details are needed of this history. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Recent edits most interesting but a source is needed. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC).[reply]

I have added some detail with sources. Much more can be found in the VCH (1906) Roger Arguile 09:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

The points of view (POV) on Cromwell are those of David Knowles whose book is referred to; as is the opinion about the impiety of the Augustinian Canons. Roger Arguile 21:22, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Date issues - typo?[edit]

Article refers to evidence of Edward the Confessor's involvement around 1153. I have edited this to 1053, assuming a typo, given Edward was long dead by this time. However it is possible that evidence from 1153 refers to Edward's prior involvement - please advise/clarify/re-edit. Greatrex100 (talk) 00:37, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Feast?[edit]

Is there a feast day in the Catholic Church or Anglican Communion for Our Lady of Walsingham? --03:48, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

September 24 in the Roman Catholic Church and October 15 in the Anglican Communion. It should probably be mentioned in the article. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 22:07, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Submitted for your consideration: possible External Link to JC Dickinson, the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham (1956) @ http://www.walsinghamanglicanarchives.org.uk/JCDickinson. Interesting analysis as to likely date of actual foundation as compared to traditional view, relative importance of shrine at different times, and critique of Erasmus's comments.

OLW is mentioned on Nov. 28 here. Any idea why? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:05, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The text currently says "Our Lady of Walsingham is remembered ... by Anglicans on 15 October." TAnglicans should be replaced by "the Anglican Communion". In the US e.g, those who belong to the Communion call themselves Episcopalians; those who call themselves Anglican are not Episcopalian. --134.153.14.79 (talk) 12:43, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Episcopalians are Anglicans. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 23:00, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged new title[edit]

The alleged new title of the Slipper Chapel shrine has not been provided in any reliable secondary source. It seems to have been dreamt up by editors here. It does not belong in the article until it can be reliably sourced. Elizium23 (talk) 02:23, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

statue burned?[edit]

If the statue was burned, what was the image Pope Leo XIII blessed?--2607:FEA8:D5DF:F945:2459:C1EC:C71B:4617 (talk) 18:38, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The copy carved at Oberammergau in 1896. Manannan67 (talk) 22:56, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Typo: the article says ‘Sir Roger wrote to Cromwell in 1564…” seems unlikely since Thomas Cromwell would have been dead for quite a few years? 2A00:23C5:30A4:BA01:D5C0:3453:DC14:217F (talk) 21:50, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
