Our Lady's Mirror
Autumn 1931
The procession of the Translation of the image of Our Lady from the parish church to the
new Shrine on October 15th 1931. Sir William Milner, the Shrine's chief benefactor and
one of the first lay guardians, is on the left holding a candle. The image was carried by
four deacons of honour, surrounded by four priest guardians - Fr Baverstock, Fr Fynes-
Clinton, Fr Lury and Fr Whitby. The deacon of honour nearest the camera is Fr Frank
Harwood, curate of Radwinter, Essex, and the one visible behind is Fr Frank Burnett. He
was a curate at St Peter Parmengate and St Julian's in Norwich; he served RNVR and was
chaplain to HMS Barham. He died when it was sunk by enemy action on 25 November
1941. The server on the right looking back is Leslie Gray Fisher, sometime General
Secretary of the Catholic League and wearing here the collar of the Fraternity of Our Lady
de Salve Regina, parish guild of St Magnus the Martyr, London Bridge.
