Our Lady of Walsingham Church And School
Attending the Senior School, my memories are of the dinner dances that where held in the school hall to raise money to pay for the church and school, many of the events where organised by the local church organisations and the priests, particularily Canon Brennan, father Condon and Father Bailey, each played their own UNselfish part in the running of the parish before the other churches where thought of. Masses were always well attended and the Christmas and Easter services, particularly midnight mass was heaving to the beams. Then when Canon Brennan decided to build a Catholic Club, well, money just poured in and so it did. From then Corby churches flowered into St Brendan's, St Patrick's, because the town became so big, until the demise of the Steel Works. I miss all of that camaraderie and the smoke and the Scottish and Irish lilt nestled in the background with the Welsh, who gave their all as usual. Boy, what happened to Corby and Scotland?
