From the bulletin of St. Pancras’ parish:

Ipswich’s Own Madonna: OUR ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE WALK is taking place the Sunday 6 Sept at 3.00pm, from St Peter’s Church to the Shrine of our Lady of Grace via Lady Lane. Come and support this ecumenical event that honours Our Lady of Ipswich. Tea afterwards.
