Founded in 1061 by the Lady Richeldis, destroyed in 1538 under Henry VIII, the Shrine of Our Lady was restored in the parish church at Little Walsingham in Norfolk in 1922 by the Vicar, Fr Alfred Hope Patten. The current Anglican Shrine was established in 1938 and Walsingham is once more a popular place of pilgrimage and Christian healing.
At St John’s, the Cell of the Holy House of Our Lady of Walsingham and St John the Evangelist meets regularly for Mass or a pilgrimage to the Shrine.
