Sir James Marshall

Sir James and Lady Marshall are buried in the graveyard at St, Mary Magdalen Church off North Worple Way. Sir Janes is credited with bringing Catholicism to the Gold Coast – now Ghana. The Knights and Ladies of Marshall were founded in his honour and they visit St. Mary Magdalen on the first Sunday of May every year. That is this Sunday 4 May.

The Parish Priest, Fr. Adrian has written to say that all are welcome to join the celebrations and to meet the Knights and Ladies. And from pictures of previous years they will look resplendent.

Mass is at 11am followed by a short commemoration at 1145 around the grave of Sir James and Lady Marshall.
