The Shrine Of Our Lady Of Walsingham facebook twitter MENU The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham Founded by the Lady Richeldis in 1061, destroyed by Henry VIII in 1538, restored in 1922 by Father Hope Patten, the Anglican Vicar of Walsingham – the Shrine has had an eventful history across nearly a thousand years. This medieval place of pilgrimage, which rivalled Canterbury as a destination, was visited by thousands of pilgrims from all across Britain and Europe. It became known as ‘England’s Nazareth’ because of the nature of the vision which the Lady Richeldis experienced. (See The Story So Far). Today, after 350 years of post-Reformation neglect, the past 95 years have witnessed the dramatic restoration of pilgrimage to Walsingham. 1 2 3 4 Current Opening Hours: The Shrine Church: open daily from 7.00am until 10.00pm The Shrine Grounds and The Guild of All Souls Chapel: open daily from 7.00am until 10.00pm Norton's Café=Bar is open daily from 9.30am until 5.00pm The Shrine Shop: open Monday to Saturday from 9.00am until 4.00pm.
