The slow rate of blog posting in recent days grinds to a (temporary) halt today, as we take a short break ahead of the busy month of September. In fact, the blogging department is off to the South East of England, in search of a portrait of Dr John Rigby, who is to be returned to Lancaster for a brief stay at our 150th anniversary exhibtion (12th September - 21st November). More on that story later, when posts resume at the end of this month. Meanwhile, you can continue to follow the diocesan novena on the St Thérèse blog, and Canon Billington will continue his historical posts, here.
