A brief history of our church

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

The parish of Corby was formed from the parishes of Kettering and Peterborough, the church took little over a year to complete with its original cost of £10,000.
