See also Fr Patten’s Chronicle, which appeared in instalments in Our Lady’s Mirror between Winter
1936 and Summer 1939. This contained in chronological sequence every reference to medieval
Walsingham that he had found over the years, collected in preparation for his intended history of the
medieval priory. The series ended because of the outbreak of War, and was not continued thereafter.
