Little Walsingham - 2 |
|
|
When Little Walsingham was established as a shrine in the Middle Ages, it expanded to accommodate the influx of pilgrims. Indeed its sole purpose was as a destination for pilgrims, as it is today. The village is laid out on a grid system and contains a large number of fine buildings, noteably in the Common Place, the Friday Market Place and the High Street. Many buildings are timber framed and many examples are jettied, rare for North Norfolk. At the south edge of the village is the parish church, St. Mary's, a large 14th and 15th century building. It has been well restored after it was gutted by a fire in July 1961. James Rowles
