Walsingham
Walsingham. Marian shrine, Norfolk. The earliest shrine, dedicated to the Holy House of Nazareth, was built by the lady of the manor, Richeldis de Faverches, traditionally to commemorate her vision of the Blessed Virgin (1061). Both shrine and adjacent Augustinian priory gained fame and wealth from pilgrims and their bequests, until destruction 1538–9. Interest in Walsingham began to revive in 1897. The present Anglican shrine, which includes an Orthodox chapel, contains a newly carved statue of Our Lady of Walsingham, while Roman catholic devotion utilizes the reconsecrated Slipper Chapel, which marked the last stage of Walsingham Way.

Walsingham
Walsingham, Norfolk. A replica of the Holy House at Nazareth, said to have been built in the 11th cent., made Walsingham an important place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. The shrine was destroyed in 1538. A statue of the BVM, placed in the parish church in 1922, became the nucleus of a new shrine; a separate building to house it (the Holy House) was erected in 1931. In 1934 the medieval Slipper Chapel was opened as a RC shrine.
