A place of quiet devotion
Our Lady of Walsingham
In a peaceful, secluded area just a short walk from the Hall and set in its own garden, you will find Sir William Milner’s private chapel. A devout Anglo Catholic within the Church of England, this was his own quiet space for reflection, remembrance and prayer. Today it is used for private prayer and occasional services by residents and visitors to the Hall. The Chapel is not open to the public except when a service is scheduled, but is always available to view at close quarters.
Rooted in the tradition of Walsingham
Several years prior to Sir William’s death in 1960, he arranged that on his passing the Parcevall estate be transferred in Trust to and administered by the Guardians of The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and as such remains today.
A quiet spiritual community
There could never be any doubting Sir William’s great love of God and of the Church, nor his deep interest in and concern for the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in Norfolk. He was a founding Lay Guardian of the Shrine and a major benefactor in its restoration.
