An Episcopalean church down the block from where I work -- St. Thomas -- encourages people to stop in and pray the rosary in its "Mary's chapel."

This is not at all uncommon for Anglican churches. Though in this country you'll see that a lot more in the northern states than down south. The north tends to be more "Anglo-Catholic" than the south. Most every Episcopal church that I saw when I was growing up had a Marian shrine. Our Lady of Walsingham (that would be Walsingham, England) is a very popular pilgrim destination for Anglicans. We use water from the shrine in our healing prayers in our parish here in lil' ol' Iowa.
