It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade listed building, and now owned by Historic Chapels Trust. Locally it has been known as the "white church". ==History== The Blackpool shrine was built between 1955 and 1957 to a design by F. X. Verlarde.〔 During the Second World War Bishop Thomas E. Flynn, the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lancaster, prayed to Our Lady of Lourdes, the patron saint of the diocese, to protect the diocese from war damage. By the end of the war Blackpool was indeed relatively undamaged, and the bishop conceived the idea of building a thanksgiving chapel to commemorate this.〔 It cost £50,000 (equivalent to £}} in ), and many of the parishes in the diocese made a subscription. The land on which it is sited was given by William Eaves, a local builder, who left the plot of land between the Shrine and the Whinney Hays roundabout undeveloped in order to give the Shrine prominence on that approach to the town. Until the 1990s the Shrine was looked after by successive orders of Roman Catholic monks and nuns, among them the nuns of the Congregation of Adoration of Marie Reparatrice, and the Blessed Sacrament Fathers.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, Blackpool」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
