A brief history of our church

On Sunday 6 November 1938, the church was blessed and dedicated to Our Lady of Walsingham by Mgr Laurence Youens, then Bishop of Northampton. The door was opened with a golden key bearing the Bishop’s coat of arms, presented by the architect, E. Bowes Norris, F.R.I.B.A.

The parish of Corby had been formed from the parishes of Kettering and Peterborough. The church took a little over a year to complete and originally cost £10,000.
