I have just finished reading an utterly compelling page-turner of a book, newly-published and certainly a must for every Traditional Anglican library, Alfred Hope Patten and the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham: An Illustrated Biography by Michael Yelton, Canterbury Press, Norwich, 2006. This gem contains new information and stories about the controversial and saintly Father Patten, Restorer of the Shrine, which I have never before encountered. Yelton's new book is the first comprehensively-researched biography of Father Patten published since Canon Colin Stephenson wrote his famous Walsingham Way in 1970. This handsome volume delves deeply into the history of 20th century Anglo-Catholicism in England and places Father Patten in the context of the wider Church of England, Anglican Papalism and the Catholic Revival of the last century. I could not more highly recommend it - get your copy today!
If you love Our Lady of Walsingham, you'll love this book...
