Way of Julian of Norwich

Sheila Upjohn, a graduate of London University, was born and grew up in Norwich. After ten years in London working in journalism and advertising, she returned to Norwich, by now married and with young children, and for 20 years lived in the Cathedral Close. She helped organise the celebration of Julian’s six-hundredth anniversary in 1973, and for many years was a daily communicant in Julian’s cell. She is a foundation member of the Friends of Julian of Norwich and has been reading Julian’s Revelations ever since she found a £1 copy in an SPCK bookshop nearly half a century ago. She has led retreats throughout England, and overseas in Canada, the USA and Australia. Her Australian retreats include the Holy Week at the St Charles Seminary in Perth, Western Australia.
