Church Of Our Lady Of Walsingham.

A Memory of Corby.

I attended Our Lady's when we first arrived in Corby in 1949. I also went to the Primary schools behind the Church as did my younger brother and sister [she had been Christened here in 1950]
We'd moved to The Lodge Park Estate when I was 8 but I continued going to the school until I was eleven and then attended the New Grammar School.
After I left Corby, my family moved to Masefield Way and once again Our Lady's was their place of worship.and then my sister was married here in 1969.
Later on in 1986 my father died and his funeral was held in Our Lady's

I have fond memories of my early days in Corby and the Catholic Community in the Church.
We had "At Homes" and concerts regularly. One year when I was quite small we had a Christmas Party in the School. My Mum was telling someone that the TWO fathers were there - and I piped up "No Mummy. There were Three! Father Brennan, Father Cronin and Father Christmas!"
