Dear Rosemary,
I have been trying to gather information on Marian shrines in England for a while -- no easy
task after several hundred years of efforts to assign English medieval pilgrimage sites to
oblivion. There were quite a few Marian shrines in and around London, but I am not aware of
any that fit your bill. In France, Laon and Liesse are about the closest I can think of. I
wonder if "Liaunnes" might actually be something like "Les aunes", since Marian shrines were
quite often associated with trees. Its a bit undigested, but if you wish, I could send you the
material I have for London and environs.
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
