" Then did the company all call and cry out to Almighty God and Our Blessed Lady , whose image is honoured and worshipped in the White Friars of Doncaster . Each in turn managed to call upon Our Lady and be saved ; but Robert Leche 's wife , carried three hundred foot and more midstream , and the wagon rolling over and over , and she in it . " All people on land did kneel , and prayed that if ever Our Lady of Doncaster showed miracle , she would show some grace upon this woman . And saved she was ; shouted out that she did right well for God , and that Our Lady of Doncaster had saved her . " And that these premises be true and not feigned , William Nicholson , Robert Leche and his wife and children , came to Our Lady of Doncaster upon St Mary Magdalene 's Day next after , and did declare this gracious miracle , and it was sworn upon a book before the Prior and Convent with various witnesses named . " And at that day this gracious miracle was rung and sung in the presence of three hundred people and more . Deo Gracias . " In the aftermath of the Pilgrimage of Grace , whose leader , Robert Aske had stayed with the Carmelites at Doncaster , the priory and Shrine were doomed . The priory was surrendered by Edward Stubbis , the prior , and seven friars , on 13 November 1538 to Hugh Wyrrall and Tristram Teshe . The King 's Commissioners made an inventory of the friary property but Our Lady of Doncaster 's statue had already been removed under Archbishop Lee 's orders
