Walsingham

The next two posts in this blog move away from the footpaths and open spaces of South Cambridgeshire and locate themselves firmly in North Norfolk.

This post is all about the ancient town of Walsingham that once housed an important medieval shrine to Our Lady of Walsingham and now has two shrines, an Anglican and a Roman Catholic one, based around the remains of the original shrine and its priory.

I visited Walsingham on a drear, grey day in the middle of June. A combination of the weather and the ongoing pandemic kept the crowds away and it felt like I had the small town largely to myself.
